Waltz With the Dead
[Verse 1]
Tunes of mendacity whispers
Throughout the gloom
Like echoes of mystery
Or a lullaby of doom
[Chorus]
An illusion of pleasure
An illusion of pain
Yield to the beauty and
Soon you will waltz with the dead
Yield to the beauty and
Soon you will waltz with the dead
[Verse 2]
Come, yes, you, and listen
To my melody
Say can you do another
Such sweet harmony?
[Chorus]
An illusion of pleasure
An illusion of pain
Yield to the beauty and
Soon you will waltz with the dead
Yield to the beauty and
Soon you will waltz with the dead
[Bridge]
Deep in the mist you can hear him
Softly playing his strings in order
To snatch your soul far away
Deep in the mist you reveal him
A naked shape of peace as he plays
You a song to lure you to stay
[Verse 3]
Such nimble fingers that play
Upon the fiddle
In shadows they linger
Like the darkest of riddles
[Chorus]
An illusion of pleasure
An illusion of pain
Yield to the beauty and
Soon you will waltz with the dead
Yield to the beauty and
Soon you will waltz with the dead
[Outro]
Deep in the mist you can hear him
Hearken not, not to the sound
From upon his luring strings
Deep in the mist you reveal him
The fiddler of the lost and drowned
That slips you a song to sing
