Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Dead man, they celebrate as the final chapter fades away
'Cause they can't hide, we can see their flesh is rotten
The band plays a hopeful tune
The champagne is poured as they socialize
The look in their eye hide in the light
[Verse 2]
Everything is paid for tonight while at the party of the
Dead dancing in their graves
The drinks here are free so relax, enjoy the sight of all the
Dead dancing in their graves
[Verse 3]
And while the world that they built told 'em to change
Told 'em to listen, they just kept it the same
And now that midnight has come, I'm in a room watchin' the
Dead dancing in their graves
[Verse 4]
Bones covered up by suits as the visible scars, they multiply
Kiss it goodbye, too stubborn and now you're destroyed
Tick-tock, the time bomb has been recognized, been pressurized
Nowhere to hide, swallowin' light
[Verse 5]
Everything is paid for tonight while at the party of the
Dead dancing in their graves
The drinks here are free so relax, enjoy the sight of all the
Dead dancing in their graves
[Verse 6]
And while the world that they built told 'em to change
Told 'em to listen, they just kept it the same
And now that midnight has come, I'm in a room watchin' the
Dead dancing in their graves
[Verse 7]
We feel a comin' strain
And now it's too late to change
[Verse 8]
What you want is law
You crowd me with all that you stole
Oh, how the mighty fall
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 9]
Everything is paid for tonight while at the party of the
Dead dancing in their graves
The drinks here are free so relax, enjoy the sight of all the
Dead dancing in their graves
[Verse 10]
And while the world that they built told 'em to change
Told 'em to listen, they just kept it the same
And now that midnight has come, I'm in a room watchin' the
Dead dancing in their graves
[Verse 11]
Feel, feel a coming strength
And now it's too late to change
Feel, feel a coming strength
And now it's too late to change
Feel, feel a coming strength
And now it's too late to change
Feel, feel a coming strength
