Iron Maiden Dance Of Death Lyrics

Let Me Tell You A Story
To Chill The Bones
About A Thing 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
Into The Circle Of Fire
I Followed Them
Into 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

[[[SolO]]]

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.
