i love iron maiden their the best band around, this is one of their songs Dance of Death

Let me tell you a story to chill the bones
About a thing that I saw
One night wandering in the everglades
I'd one drink but no more

I was rambling, enjoying the bright moonlight
Gazing up at the stars
Not aware of a presence so near to me
Watching my every move

Feeling scared and I fell to my knees
As something rushed me from the trees
Took me to an unholy place
And that is where I fell from grace

Then they summoned me over to join in with them
To the dance of the dead
Into the circle of fire I followed them
Into the middle I was led

As if time had stopped still I was numb with fear
But still I wanted to go
And the blaze of the fire did no 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 the chance
To witness what happened to me

And I danced and I pranced and I sang with them
All had death in their eyes
Lifeless figures they were undead all of them
They had ascended from hell

As I danced with the dead
My free spirit was laughing and howling down at me
Below my undead body
Just danced the circle of dead

Until the time came to reunite us both
My spirit came back down to me
I didn't know if I was alive or dead
As the others all joined in with me

By luck then a skirmish started
And took the attention away from me
When they took their gaze from me
Was the moment that I fled

I ran like hell faster than the wind
But behind I did not glance
One thing that I did not dare
Was to look just straight ahead

When you know that your time has come around
You know you'll be prepared for it
Say your last goodbyes to everyone
Drink and say a prayer for it

When you're lying in your sleep, when you're lying in your bed
And you wake from your dreams to go dancing with the dead
When you're lying in your sleep, when you're lying in your bed
And you wake from your dreams to go dancing with the dead

To this day I guess I'll never know
Just why they let me go
But I'll never go dancing no more
'Til I dance with the dead

  • I disagree with you ...

    I disagree with you ytsuge... Some songs have similar riffs, it's true, and they all have a very common structure... But do you find that these 10 songs are similar ?

    Dance of Death
    Sign of the Cross
    Trooper
    The Nomad
    These Coulours dont' Run
    Caught Somewhere in Time
    Wasted Years
    Wrathchild
    Hallowed Be Thy Name
    Rime of the Ancient Mariner

  • Can't wait to see ...

    Can't wait to see them here in the Heavy Metal capital of the ? I mean the world. They are coming to San Antonio's Verizon wireless semi circle also known as a theatre that begins with the letter A. Can I get some help out there? Actually it's in Selma, Texas but what the hell. Used to be a speed trap back in the day but I guess they tired of the bad publicity. Live quarterhorse racing will be going on when they grace us with their presence on May 21st. The racetrack is crawling distance from A.

    Somewhat true, but a lot of metal bands have songs that sound a lot alike or have a similar structure.

  • I LOVE Maiden. I'm ...

    I LOVE Maiden. I'm even going to theoir gig in august, but... Have you ever noticed that their songs sound the same? Clansman, Dance of Death, Fear of the Dark, they all follow the same structure. Slow bit, slow lyrics, catchy main riff, bridge, another catchy riff, end. Most of them are even in the same scale! That's kinda lame.
