Lyrics
Dance of Death Mortality, behold and fear what a change of flesh is here! Think how many royal bones sleep within this heap of stones Here they lie, had realms and lands who now want strenght to stir their hands Where from their pulpits seal’d with dust They preach, In Greatness is no trust Shake off your heavy living trance and leap into my magic dance Such as no mortal use to tread, let my younger brother to lead Life is sucks the earth is sick better come to me, indeed Demon’s born for human sins Who you think gave him almightly wings CHORUS: I shall wipe away thy fears and tears Thou don’t have to pray anymore Night and day joys to obtain Lamb’s once slain in my name I will fill the veins with immortal blood more that wine, or sleep, or food I will take Thee to magic heaven, take my scythe, Behold, The Day is 7th Here are sands, ignoble things, drop from the ruin’d sides of kings: Here’s a world of pomp and state buried in dust, once dead by fate Shake off your heavy living trance and leap into my magic dance Such as no mortal use to tread, let my younger brother to lead Life is sucks the earth is sick better come to me, indeed Jesus died for human sins I forgot him and let Him to live CHORUS: I shall wipe away thy fears and tears Thou don’t have to pray anymore Night and day joys to obtain Lamb’s once slain in my name.
