Hand in hand, toe to toe The Dance of d**h is never slow We beat the drum, with bone of thigh Our hollow eyes lift to the sky We dance with life, beyond all life We tell out tales of war and strife A knife, A sickle, rattle drum All play the song, 'till others come The moonlight glow on sallow flesh There's beauty in our Dance of d**h Dance macabre, dance divine Devour the flesh and drink the wine Dance macabre, dance with me Dance to set your spirits free The harpy's cry, the carrion crow Will teach us all we need to know Come, break the earth and touch the sky We're here to teach you how to fly Dance macabre, dance divine Devour the flesh and drink the wine Dance macabre, dance with me Dance to set your spirits free Dance macabre, dance divine Devour the flesh and drink the wine Dance macabre, dance with me Dance to set your spirits free A bow, a curtsy, fingers brush With bone to bone, the Reaper's touch We need not lungs to lift the cry There's other life when once we die We spin, we dip, we leap and skip Our teeth and fingers gnaw and rip With grace we greet the rising sun Our Dance of d**h has just begun Dance macabre, dance divine Devour the flesh and drink the wine Dance macabre, dance with me Dance to set your spirits free Dance macabre, dance divine Devour the flesh and drink the wine Dance macabre, dance with me Dance to set your spirits free
