Dance Of Death (Live) by Iron Maiden

...
Let me tell you a story to chill the bones
About a thing that I saw
One night wandering in the everglades
I'd one drink but no more
I was rambling, enjoying the bright moonlight
Gazing up at the stars
Not (1)__________ of a (2)________________ so near to me
Watching my every move
Feeling scared and I fell to my knees
As something rushed me from the trees
Took me to an unholy place
And that is where I fell from grace
Then they summoned me over to join in (3)________ them
To the dance of the dead
Into the circle of fire I followed them
Into the (4)____________ I was led

As if time had stopped still I was numb with fear
But still I wanted to go
And the (5)__________ of the fire did no hurt upon me
As I walked (6)________ the coals
And I felt I was in a trance
And my spirit was (7)____________ from me
And if (8)________ someone had the chance
To witness what happened to me
And I danced and I pranced and I sang with them
All had death in their eyes
Lifeless figures (9)________ were undead all of them
They had (10)________________ (11)________ hell

As I danced with the dead
My free spirit was laughing and howling down at me
Below my undead body
Just danced the circle of dead
Until the time came to reunite us both
My spirit came back down to me
I didn't know if I was (12)__________ or dead
As the others all joined in with me

By luck (13)________ a skirmish started
And (14)________ the attention away from me
When (15)________ took their gaze from me
Was the (16)____________ (17)________ I fled
I ran like (18)________ faster than the wind
But behind I did not glance
One thing that I did not dare
Was to look just straight ahead

When you (19)________ that your time has come around
You (20)________ you'll be (21)________________ for it
Say your last (22)________________ to everyone
Drink and say a prayer for it

When you're lying in your sleep
When you're (23)__________ in your bed
And you wake from your dreams to go dancing with the dead
When you're lying in your sleep
When you're lying in your bed
And you wake (24)________ your dreams to go (25)______________ with the dead

To (26)________ day I guess I'll never know
Just why they let me go
But I'll (27)__________ go dancing no more
'Til I dance with the dead
