Let me tell you a story to chill the bones about a things that I saw 

One night wandering in the everglades. I'd one drink but no more 



I was rambling, enjoying the bright moonlight. Gazing up at the stars 

Not aware of a presence so near to me. Watching my every move 



Feeling scared and I fell to my knees. As something rushed me from the trees 

Took me to an unholy place. And that is where I fell from grace 



Then they summoned me over to join in with them. To the dance of the dead 

In to the circle of fire I followed them. In to the middle I was led 



As if time had stopped still I was numb with fear. But still I wanted to go 

And the blaze of the fire did no hurt upon me. As I walked onto the coals 



And I felt I was in a trance. And my spirit was lifted from me 

And if only someone had the chance. To witness what happened to me 



And I danced and I pranced and I sang with them. All had death in their eyes 

Lifeless figures they were undead all of them. They had ascended from hell 



As I danced with the dead my free spirit was laughing and howling down at me 

Below my undead body just danced the circle of dead 



Until the time came to reunite us both. My spirit came back down to me 

I didn't know if I was alive or dead. As the others all joined in with me 



By luck then a skirmish started. And took the attention away from me 

When they took their gaze from me. Was the moment that I fled 



I ran like hell faster than the wind. But behind I did not glance 

One thing that I did not dare. Was to look just straight ahead 



When you know that your time has come around. You know you'll be prepared for it. 

Say your last goodbyes to everyone. Drink and say a prayer for it 



When you're lying in your sleep, when you're lying in your bed 

And you wake from your dreams to go dancing with the dead 

When you're lying in your sleep, when you're lying in your bed 

And you wake from your dreams to go dancing with the dead 



To this day I guess I'll never know. Just why they let me go 

But I'll never go dancing no more. 'Til I dance with the dead

Shadow puppets 

The old man nearly died 

They dance in the light from his hand 

He remembers when fate was more kind 

And cool summer rain soaked the land 

Bells in the temple, a buddah Reclines 

Meanwhile to the east and again to the north 

Shiva awaits in the sand 

Smooth as leather - unchained by the blade 

A face made of stone will remain 

Who will remember the love that we made 

And hand writes a word and the word is genocide 



Kill not your enemy 

Love not your friend 

Turning in ecstasy 

We learn the dance of death 



No water 

One in ten survive 

Cries of the damned flood the land 

Another leader more dead than alive 

With innocent blood on his hand 

Gunfire by dayligth - murder by night 

Run to the hills on the voyage of your past 

Memories faded by night 

Nowhere to go so they learn how to dance 

Their hands speak of days left behind 

Your murderer's your saviour by strange circumstance 

A lesson in lies for the children of the damned 



Kill not your enemy 

Love not your friend 

Turning in ecstasy 

We learn the dance of death 



Silent as angels 

The old man survive 

Serene as a statue they stand 

They drink propaganda and breath cyanide 

Meanwhile in Asia the rains begin again 



Kill not your enemy 

Love not your friend 

Turning ïn ecstasy 

We learn the dance of death
