Let me tell you a story to chill the bones 让我告诉你一个故事，放松筋骨

About a thing that I saw 关于我看到一个东西

One night wandering in the everglades 一天晚上，游荡在大沼泽地

I'd one drink but no more 我倒是喝一杯酒，但没有更多的

   

I was rambling, enjoying the bright moonlight 我是散漫的，享受着明亮的月光

Gazing up at the stars 望着天上的星星

Not aware of a presence so near to me 了解不存在如此接近我

Watching my every move 看着我的一举一动

   

Feeling scared and I fell to my knees 感到害怕，我爱上了我的膝盖

As something rushed me from the trees 由于东西从树上冲了我

Took me to an unholy place 带我去了一个邪恶的地方

And that is where I fell from grace 那是我失宠了

   

Then they summoned me over to join in with them 然后，他们把我叫过来加入他们

To the dance of the dead 要死人的舞蹈

Into the circle of fire I followed them 在火圈内我跟着他们

Into the middle I was led 进入中旬，我被带领

   

As if time had stopped still I was numb with fear 仿佛时间已经停止了我依然是麻木与恐惧

But still I wanted to go 但我仍想去

And the blaze of the fire did no hurt upon me 而火的火焰在我身上做任何伤害

As I walked onto the coals 当我走上煤

   

And I felt I was in a trance 我觉得我是在发呆

And my spirit was lifted from me 我的心也从我抬起

And if only someone had the chance 如果只有一个人有机会

To witness what happened to me 见证了发生在我身上

   

And I danced and I pranced and I sang with them 我跳舞，我又蹦又跳，我歌唱与他们

All had death in their eyes 在他们的眼中都有死亡

Lifeless figures they were undead all of them 没有生命的数字，它们是不死所有的人

They had ascended from hell 他们是从地狱升到了

   

As I danced with the dead 当我跳舞与死者

My free spirit was laughing and howling down at me 我的自由精神在笑和嚎叫下来我

Below my undead body 下面我不死身

Just danced the circle of dead 只是跳舞的死循环

   

Until the time came to reunite us both 直到时间到了团聚我们俩

My spirit came back down to me 我的精神回来了下来给我

I didn't know if I was alive or dead 我不知道如果我是活着还是死了

As the others all joined in with me 至于其他人都加入了与我

   

By luck then a skirmish started 靠运气那么前哨战开始

And took the attention away from me 并把注意力远离我

When they took their gaze from me 当他们把他们的目光从我身上

Was the moment that I fled 是我逃离的那一刻

   

I ran like hell faster than the wind 我跑了像地狱比风还快

But behind I did not glance 但后面我没有一目了然

One thing that I did not dare 我不敢有一件事

Was to look just straight ahead 就是活脱脱直行

   

When you know that your time has come around 当你知道你的时间已经来到我身边

You know you'll be prepared for it 你知道你会为它准备

Say your last goodbyes to everyone 说你的过去告别大家

Drink and say a prayer for it 喝，说祈祷吧

   

When you're lying in your sleep, when you're lying in your bed 当你躺在你的睡眠，当你躺在你的床上

And you wake from your dreams to go dancing with the dead 而你从梦中醒来去与死者跳舞

When you're lying in your sleep, when you're lying in your bed 当你躺在你的睡眠，当你躺在你的床上

And you wake from your dreams to go dancing with the dead 而你从梦中醒来去与死者跳舞

   

To this day I guess I'll never know 为了这一天，我想我永远也不会知道

Just why they let me go 只是为什么他们不让我走

But I'll never go dancing no more 但我永远不会去跳舞不多

'Til I dance with the dead “直到我跳舞死
