Lyrics: Arch Enemy. Doomsday Machine. Skeleton Dance.

On a journey ill, my mind floats astray
Over withered fields, I cross the river
This shortness of breath between birth and grave
Fading in the distance, I am nothing

Watch the skeleton dance, dancing on my grave
My frozen hour of death

Here I am alone, casting my own shadows
Traversing the mundane, desperate cry
Boundless darkness, a voiceless fear
Unheard, unseen, it is coming near

Watch the skeleton dance, dancing on my grave
My frozen hour of death, watch the skeleton dance
Here I am, alone

Had I not known that I was dead
I would have mourned my loss of life, loss of life
Between birth and grave, here I am alone
