Iron Maiden - Dance of Death

Albüm Adı : Dance of Death

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.

Feelings scared and I feel to my knees.
As something rushed me from the Trees.
Took me to an unholy place.
And that is where I fell from Grace.

And they summoned me over to join in with them.
To the Dance of a Dead.
In to a circle of fire I followed them.
In to the middle I was led.

As if my time had stopped still I was a numb with fear.
But still I wanted to go.
And the blaze of the Fire did no hurt upon me.
As I walked on to the Coals.

Then I felt I was in 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 unlead all of them.
They had ascened 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 Death.

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 momentg 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 Doodbyes 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
An you wake from your dreams to ga 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.
