Totentanz Lyrics

The moon is rising in a land of distant hopes

No soul in sight, dead leaves drop down on empty roads

Tonight's the night a silver shine covers your bone

All caskets open and the crows enjoy their show

We dance with the dead

Dance with the dead

Dance with the dead, darling

We dance with the dead

Dance with the dead

Dance with the dead, darling

I hope you came alone

It's one sight to see

When skeletons dance on their own and

And kick the dust with their feet

The wind blows the melodies through rock, rain and snow

What will you do when death comes knocking at your door?

Took my heart, let me hold it, hold it

I'm bad, but I can't control it

Ribcage made of coal and stone

One last touch, baby shake my bone

For so long I been hopeless, hopeless

No way out?

Only coping

Roses on my grave when I sing my song and

Even death wants to sing along

We dance with the dead

Dance with the dead

Dance with the dead, darling

We dance with the dead

Dance with the dead

Dance with the dead, darling

I hope you came alone

It's one sight to see

When skeletons dance on their own and

And kick the dust with their feet

We dance with the dead

Dance with the dead

Dance with the dead, darling

We dance with the dead

Dance with the dead

Dance with the dead, darling

I hope you came alone

No one escapes this hole

It swallows you from head to toe

Curtains fall and close the show

A soulless world made of empty words

As you hear the distant cries

The coffins bleed and the crows are pleased

More decay as days fly by

I know it hurts, I feel it burn

But it makes me feel alive

Was plagued by greed, became the fiend

So the dead can now arise

We dance with the dead

Dance with the dead

Dance with the dead, darling

We dance with the dead

Dance with the dead

Dance with the dead, darling

I hope you came alone

It's one sight to see

When skeletons dance on their own and

And kick the dust with their feet

All down the drain as tears just rain

And shine in blood red lights

The ashes fall as the undead crawl

All closer by my side

Shake it, make me feel all amazing

Fading all the pain I´ve been facing

Blame me for the time I´ve been wasting

Dance as long your soul is remaining

Maybe I don´t care that I´m breaking

Made it to this place so embrace it

Snake pits in my heart gon` erase me

Fainting as all thoughts are decaying

We dance with the dead

Dance with the dead

Dance with the dead, darling

We dance with the dead

Dance with the dead

Dance with the dead, darling

I hope you came alone

It's one sight to see

When skeletons dance on their own and

And kick the dust with their feet

We dance with the dead

Dance with the dead

Dance with the dead, darling

We dance with the dead

Dance with the dead

Dance with the dead, darling

I hope you came alone

No one escapes this hole

Swallows you from head to toe

Curtains fall and close the show
