Skeleton Dance Lyrics
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
Watch the skeleton dance
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
Watch the skeleton dance
Dancing on my grave
My frozen hour of death
Watch the skeleton dance
On my grave
My frozen hour of death
Between birth and grave
Here I am alone
My mind floats astray
Over withered fields
I cross the river
Between birth and grave
Fading in the distance
I am nothing
Dancing on my grave
My frozen hour of death
On my grave
My frozen hour of death
Casting my own shadows
Traversing the mundane
Desperate cry
A voiceless fear
Unheard, unseen
It is coming near
Dancing on my grave
My frozen hour of death
Watch the skeleton dance
Here I am - alone
That I was dead
I would have mourned
My loss of life
Loss of life
Dancing on my grave
My frozen hour of death
On my grave
My frozen hour of death
Between birth and grave
Here I am alone

What does this song mean to me?Fucking insane metal. These guys (and girl) are fucking insane live.Best mosh i've ever been in.
That song is amazing the vocals (angela) I think this song is about someone dying and describing his last seconds of life
hard to believe that's a girl singing..anyways if you reverse the song, there are hidden messages during the intro (the whispers you can hear) the only thing i ever remember hearing was "bleeding forever."
as for the meaning, i agree with worldbeeb. also, the lyrics towards the end "Had I not known...Loss of life" is the word for word translation of Ōta Dōkan's death poem, once again helping me agree with worldbeeb
