[00:25.302] Standing still you hear drums are beating faraway
[00:30.366] While it's getting closer angst is growing every day
[00:35.377] The grim saraband
[00:40.203] The black rondo
[00:42.712] The frantic jig
[00:45.606] For the young and the old
[00:48.059] Both the starved and the crowned
[00:50.603] All are taken away to a sudden end
[00:55.715] What we are, they were
[00:58.168] Those who lie in their graves
[01:00.814] May the worms and decay be our common fate
[01:05.685]
[01:15.851] Yesterday was time to dance footloose upon the earth
[01:20.877] Now you can't refuse to give up all things of worth
[01:25.466] No time for contrite regrets, no more bitter cries
[01:30.718] Now come, for everyone must finally die
[01:35.954] Crooked bones lead the dance
[01:41.069] Doomed ones coerced to prance
[01:46.076] The noisy scream of pipes
[01:51.151] Bring them to their demise
[01:55.597]
[03:37.335] Here they are the still and silent
[03:39.874] Ossuary residents
[03:42.344] Ironic naked teeth
[03:44.848] Smiling at our deep conceit
[03:47.430] How unworthy our concerns are
[03:49.903] Tempers, pledges and desires
[03:52.450] As bodies buried, nothing lasts
[03:54.950] This is where the sad truth lies
[04:00.104]
[04:58.205] Crowded skulls as a looking-glass
[05:00.655] The whole world is a charnel house
[05:03.229] Lively corpses on respite
[05:05.697] Behind beauty, decay hides
[05:08.214] Beware to not being caught off guard
[05:10.737] Gloomy tragedy of a lifetime marred
[05:18.578] We don't know when we'll take our last breath
[05:23.351] There's no reprieve for the dance of death
[05:28.492] When will come the final breath?
[05:33.455] No reprieve for the dance of death
[05:38.581]
