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?

Come forward embrace the unknown
You're welcome in my haunted home
This abbey where stories are told
Watch closely, a nightmare unfolds

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

(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

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

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

(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
Yellow and the blue

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

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

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
