Story Behind The Song

Watching the "Goth" scene around the country.

Song Description

Person contemplates death and the celebration thereof.

Lyrics

WAKE UP ANOTHER DAY, TO FILL MY CUP
BEFORE THEY DIG A HOLE, LAY ME IN, FILL IT UP
I'LL WEAR A GRANITE HELMET UPON MY CROWN
BE IT KNOW I WAS LOST NOW I'M FOUND

BLANK PALE FACES PRANCE BENEATH A GOTHIC MOON
ENTRANCED, ENTRANCED WITH ALL THE REST
AND THE TATOOED BOYS WITH THEIR SHAVEN HEADS
THEY DANCE THE DANCE THE DANCE OF DEATH

FOR ME, THEY DANCE THE DANCE OF DEATH FOR ME

AND I'LL TAKE CHANCES FOR I KNOW THAT DAY IS COMING SOON
SOME WOULD SAY I HAD NO FEAR
AND AS THE SUN FALLS WEST ACROSS MY GRAVE
THEY'LL DANCE THE DANCE THE DANCE OF DEATH

FOR ME, THEY'LL DANCE THE DANCE OF DEATH FOR ME
