Dance Macabre Lyrics

I'm not sure about the original purpose of this song, but anyway this is how I interpret it. The play with the words "be with you" and "bewitch you" are the key to understanding the meaning of the whole song. The first time I didn't check the lyrics and I understood "be with you", and I was like " What am I hearing? KISS?" but then it all became clear.

I understand this song as a metaphor for allowing yourself to be led down a path of doom either by a person, an entity or group (Satan if you'd like to see it that way) or just by a bad choice in your life, a hobby that is pleasurable but ultimately bad for you. At least that's how I see it.
