Spiritdance Lyrics - Scarlet Evil Witching Black - Necromantia

I travelled through the eyes of the Necroscope 

Into the realm where marble tombs lay open 

Where Death and Decay hold their thrones 

And sorrow chants her funeral song 

A weird sweet music fills the air 

As shadow forms gather in circles 

And it is nighttime, so cold, so dark 

When spirits start their dance macabre 

Ghostly dancers whirling around 

Their lips move in silence 

And there is death in their eyes 

A young couple waltzes among the gravestones 

(holding goblets of silver in their hands) 

Together they drink as the music plays on 

Together they die poisoned by their own hands 

Beside a grey mausoleum 

Two duellists fence with etherial blades 

And as the sword pierces the heart 

A misty veil enshrouds them both 

A man whose faithless wife betrayed his love 

Slays the unwary lovers onto their bed of lust 

As a poet of unsound mind ends his damned being 

Giving his life for the glory of the black art 

Centuries of spectral agony and pain 

Performed like a drama before my eyes 

In the first light of day the spirits disappear 

In a haze of ghostly mist shimmer away 

Until the next time they replay their deaths
