Lyrics
[Intro]
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
[PostChorus]
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 fairytales 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
[PostChorus]
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
[Bridge]
It's time to free the ghost in thee, give in to the dark phantom's 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
[Bridge]
The orchestra's playing
Dark melodies swaying
Enchanting, betraying, it's time
[Bridge]
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
[Outro]
Come together, dance forever
Join us in our endless nightmare
Embracing the night while you sing with us forevermore
