let me tell you a story to chill the bones
讓我給你們講一段令人膽戰心驚的故事吧
bout a thing that i saw
那是我親眼所見的
one night wandering in the everglades
在某個夜晚我徘徊在沼澤地中
id one drink but no more
我是喝了些酒，但是並不多
i was rambling, enjoying the bright moonlight
當時我正在閒逛，享受著皎潔的月光
gazing up at the stars
抬頭凝望著繁星
not aware of a presence so near to me
（然而）並沒有註意到有東西離我如此之近
watching my every move
並且注意著我的一舉一動
feeling scared and i fell to my knees
當它從樹林中向我奔來時，我害怕地跪在了地上
as something rushed me from the trees
took me to an unholy place
然後把我帶到了一個邪惡之地
and that is where i fell from grace
那地方就是我墮落的開始
then they summoned me over to join in with them
接著它們召喚我加入它們
to the dance of the dead
和這些死人共舞
in to the circle of fire i followed them
就在這個篝火的圈中，我跟隨著它們
in to the middle i was led
然後我被指引到了中央的地方
as if time had stopped still i was numb with fear
就好像時間已經停止一樣，但是我是仍然害怕地發麻
but still i wanted to go
但是我卻仍然想繼續向前
and the blaze of the fire did no hurt upon me
當我行走在這些燒紅的煤炭之上時，那些火焰並有沒有燙傷我
as i walked onto the coals
and i felt i was in a trance
我感覺我像是在游離的狀態
and my spirit was lifted from me
我的靈魂像是脫離了我
and if only someone had the chance
如果有人有機會
to witness what happened to me
目睹發生在我身上的一切
and i danced and i pranced and i sang with them
我手舞足蹈和它們一同歡唱
all had death in their eyes
它們的眼裡只有死亡之意
lifeless figures they were undead all of them
這些毫無生機的怪物，它們都是一群亡靈
they had ascended from hell
都是從地獄爬上來的
as i danced with the dead
正當我與這些死靈共舞時
my free spirit was laughing and howling down at me
我那釋放的靈魂在一旁嘲笑著我，並朝我嚎叫
below my undead body just danced the circle of dead
而我那不死的身軀卻還在跳著死亡之圈
until the time came to reunite us both
直到我和靈魂重合之時
my spirit came back down to me
我的靈魂才回到我身上
i didnt know if i was alive or dead
我不知道我還是死是活
as the others, all joined in with me
因為那些東西都還在跟著我一同舞蹈
by luck then a skirmish started
幸運的是，突然發生了一個小摩擦
and took the attention away from me
將它們的注意力從我身上轉移了
when they took their gaze from me
當它們的目光從我身上移走時
was the moment that i fled
那就是我逃走的時候了
i ran like hell faster than the wind
我跑得比一陣風還快
but behind i did not glance
但是並沒有向後看一眼
one thing that i did not dare
那是我唯一不敢做的事情
was to look just straight ahead
只是死死地盯著前面
when you know that your time has come around
當你知道你的時間所剩無幾時
you know youll be prepared for it
你就曉得你得該做準備了
say your last goodbyes to everyone
對別人道個別
drink and say a prayer for it
喝一口酒，再說點兒祈禱吧
when youre lying in your sleep, when youre lying in your bed
當你躺在床上，當你還在睡夢之中
and you wake from your dreams to go dancing with the dead
然後從睡夢中醒來和那些亡靈共舞
when youre lying in your sleep, when youre lying in your bed
當你躺在床上，當你還在睡夢之中
and you wake from your dreams to go dancing with the dead
然後從睡夢中醒來和那些亡靈共舞
to this day i guess ill never know
直到這一天我猜我永遠也不會知道
just why they let me go
為什麼它們會讓我走
but ill never go dancing no more
但是我再也不會跳舞了
til i dance with the dead
直到我和死亡共舞
