lyrics

We die, quick as we came
Though we try to cheat the grave
To live your life is to play pretend
'Cause we're all skeletons in the end

We die by bombs and blades and guns
And accidental decapitation
So you better watch everything that you do
Because the world is an assassin and it's after you
Death by disease or death by

falling, falling
Get on your knees the grave is calling, calling
It doesn't matter how you go
Or who you know or what they said
Everybody do the dance of the dead

So dance and despair
There's a chill filling the air
Accept your fate and lose control
'Cause it's much too late to save your soul

The end is near, but the dance ain't done
'Cause we dead people just wanna have fun
So let me see you shake, let me rattle your bones
We're all gonna go, but we're not gonna go alone
So come and dance around the pillar of fire
Come all you beggars, kings, and killers, liars
No matter how much you protest
Or how you're dressed or what you've read
Everybody do the dance of the dead

This is your final day and it's so nice, so nice
We're gonna fade away in the sunlight
I know you want to stay, but there's no time, no time
So say goodbye to sea and sky
And to the earth on which you tread
Everybody do the dance of the dead
