DELAIN
"Danse Macabre"
(Guus Eikens / Charlotte Wessels / Martijn Westerholt)

Just 'cause it's part of a plan
That doesn't make it right
If I put my life in your hands
It's still unmistakably mine

Dark its wings across a pitch-black sky:
Death will come for me, but not tonight

[Chorus:]
Let the earth cover me!
Angels will call for me!
But in time
Not tonight
Let the earth cover me!
Angels will call for me!
But in time
Not tonight

I said I'd walk the mile
Not that I'd walk in line
I can not promise I'll smile
But I can promise I'll try

If I ever make another vow
It's to live for what's right here and now

[Chorus:]
Let the earth cover me!
Angels will call for me!
But in time
Not tonight
Let the earth cover me!
Angels will call for me!
But in time
Not tonight

It's the art of death
Give me your best
Give me your darkest
It's the art of the fall
That comes for each and all
But I'll keep it waiting for me
It's the art of death
Give me your best

Give me your best

[Interlude]

On the second that I fall apart
I will greet your old familiar face
But I reckon it won't be today
Not today

[Chorus:]
Let the earth cover me!
Angels will call for me!
But in time
Not tonight
Let the earth cover me!
Angels will call for me!
But in time
Not tonight

Let the earth cover me!
(Let the earth cover me)

Let the earth cover me!
(Let the earth cover me)

Let the earth cover me!
(Let the earth cover me)

Let the earth cover me!
(Let the earth cover me)

Let the earth cover me!
(Let the earth cover me)
