Awake foul moon to shed your light for the dead shall dance tonight hide 'neath covers, shake in fright for the dead shall dance tonight. Specters, zombies heed the call hobgoblins, ghouls welcome all shake the rafters bear the pall as the dead dance through the mall Arise o dead set grave-clothes bye take those pennies from your eye shriek and flitter, touch the sky as the dead, go dancing by. Caper dead, cavort and prance this is the night for dead to dance waking those who are in trance this is the night for dead to dance. On this one night the dead in pain will waltz and spiral, all in vain seeking out the higher plain the dead will dance, come down like rain. The dead will dance onto to the sea looking for new victory clapping hands, being set free and the dead will dance with me. Softly, softly comes the dawn and the dead have danced and gone, to the realm of great beyond echoing resonance, lingering on Left behind those worn out shells who danced with dead to bitter hells others dazed left by their spells to uphold life, in altered cells. "It is the image in the mind that links us to lost treasures; but it is the loss that shapes the image, gathers the flowers weaves the garland."- |

Hi Kethry, This was delightful, I don't know if that is what you were looking for you could sing it as well, this would be perfect for Halloween, very much enjoyed. Love, Cerenity "God doesn't have to be reminded that we exist. We have to be reminded that He exist!" (Writer Unknown) |

Thanks Angel for your kind words. Thanhks Cerenity - I wrote this when I was watching Drucula the ballet. I was thinking of all Hallows Eve and I partially remembered a story when the dead danced to the sea and took all in their path.

Oh this one RULEZ!!! "It's close to midnight and something evile's lurking from the dark Under the moonlight You see a sight that almost stops your heart You try to scream But terror takes the sound before you make it You start to freeze As horror looks you right between the eyes, You're paralyzed Coz this is thriller, thriller night And no one's gonna save you from the beast about to strike You know it's thriller, thriller night You'e fighting for your life inside a Killer, thriller tonight Night Creatures Call And The Dead Start To Walk In Their Masquerade There's No Escapin' The Jaws Of The Alien This Time (They're Open Wide) This Is The End Of Your Life " (I once was a big Michael Jackson fan, at the age of 13 ) |
