1.Let me tell you a story to chill the bones about a things that I saw
2.One night wondering in the everglades I'd one drink but no more
3.I was rambling, enjoying the right moonlight Gazing up at the Stars
4.Not aware of the presence so near to me watching my everymore

1.Feeling scared and I fell to my knees as something rushed me from the trees
2.Took me to an unholy place And that is where I fell from grace
3.Then they summoned me over to join in with them to the dance of the death
4.Into the circle of fire I followed them into the middle I was led

Verse 3 (Gitarre 1)
E G D C D E G D
As if time had stop still I was numb with fear but still I wanted to go
And the place of the fire did not 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 a chance To witness what happend to me
And I danced and I pranced and I sang with them All had death in their eyes
E G D A C D Em~~~~~
Lifeless figures they where undead all of them they had ascended from hell
