[Epica - The Ghost In Me Danse Macabre lyrics]
When it seems like all hope is gone
Hear my sinister song
Why don't you sing along?
[Verse 1]
Come forward, embrace the unknown
You're welcome in my haunted home
This abbey where stories are told
Watch closely, a nightmare unfolds
[Chorus]
It’s time to free the ghost in me
Possessed by this beautiful melody
Just come with me I’ll make you see
To dance with the dead is your destiny
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, no, we’re afraid of the night
You’ll be safe, just be brave
There’s no need to be scared
Oh no, we’ll stay here in the light
Come on have some fun
You will see the sun, when the show
Is done, follow if you dare
[Verse 2]
Hope fades as I’m closing the door
Too late, you can’t leave anymore
Old fairy tales play by the rules
Here there be monsters
And here there be ghouls
[Chorus]
It’s time to free the ghost in me
Possessed by this beautiful melody
Just come with me I’ll make you see
To dance with the dead is your destiny
[Post-Chorus]
We know you’re a witch in disguise
Follow me and you’ll see
What I’m singing is true
Oh, no, don’t look into her eyes
As I hypnotize you will realize
You cannot escape (the)
Yellow and the blue
[Bridge]
It’s time to free the ghost in thee
Give in to the dark phantoms agony
Our choir sings eternal songs
Abandon your fears while you sing along
We wonder what the shadows hide
Not scared anymore we shall go inside
The one unnamed's compelling thee
To echo this melody endlessly
Take one more step beyond this door
And you will be singing forevermore
The orchestra's playing
Dark melodies swaying
Enchanting, betraying
It’s time
Feel it beginning
Everything's spinning
Thunder, lightning
Joyfully frightening
Come and join the night with me
Come enjoy the ride with me
Let your ghost be free
[Chorus]
So now you see
The ghost in me
Eternally singing in harmony
And finally
We all agree
To dance with the dead
Is our destiny
[Outro]
As you surrender to me
Gone are the days of being afraid
Sing with me for eternity
Come take my hand
It’s not too late
This must be fate
If you only trust me
I'll show you the way
My way
Come together
Dance forever
Join us in our
Endless nightmare
Embracing the night
While you sing
With us
Forevermore
