Necromantia - Spiritdance Lyrics
I travelled through the eyes of the NecroscopeInto the realm where marble tombs lay openWhere Death and Decay hold their thronesAnd sorrow chants her funeral songA weird sweet music fills the airAs shadow forms gather in circlesAnd it is nighttime, so cold, so darkWhen spirits start their dance macabreGhostly dancers whirling aroundTheir lips move in silenceAnd there is death in their eyesA young couple waltzes among the gravestones(holding goblets of silver in their hands)Together they drink as the music plays onTogether they die poisoned by their own handsBeside a grey mausoleumTwo duellists fence with etherial bladesAnd as the sword pierces the heartA misty veil enshrouds them bothA man whose faithless wife betrayed his loveSlays the unwary lovers onto their bed of lustAs a poet of unsound mind ends his damned beingGiving his life for the glory of the black artCenturies of spectral agony and painPerformed like a drama before my eyesIn the first light of day the spirits disappearIn a haze of ghostly mist shimmer awayUntil the next time they replay their deaths
