The Dead Can Dance
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The victims return
more dead than alive
But the dead can speak
The dead can dance
Who's gonna welcome them
when they arrive?
The dead can speak
The dead can dance
What's gonna happen
When they knock on the door...
The dead can speak
The dead can dance
...And they meet who betrayed them
before the war?
The dead can speak
The dead can dance
Will they confront them
in this hour?
The dead can speak
The dead can dance
Guilty men
are still in power
The dead can speak
The dead can dance
Who is an enemy
and who's a friend?
The dead can speak
The dead can dance
Is this a beginning
or an end?
The dead can speak
The dead can dance
They were meant to disappear
and never come back
But the dead can speak
The dead can dance
Now they're here
and there's a panic attack
For the dead can speak
The dead can dance
To a frozen melody
An icy elegy
The dead can sing
The dead can dance
The snow will thaw
outside your door
For the dead can speak
The dead can dance
The dead can speak
The dead can dance
And they'll freeze your blood
with just one glance
