Death danced through the door

I saw the shape of death dance through the door

I wish I had not opened it that day

I know that I shan’t see you anymore.

We have to pay the price, death is a whore

I may have the words, but I can’t say

I saw the shape of death dance through the door

When death comes, he takes someone away

I know I will not see you anymore.

I could study books and learn the lore.

But I can never make death go away

I saw the shape of death dance through the door

I have never seen death’s shape before.

It’s not a game that I would want to play

I know that I won’t see you anymore.

Death will  snatch us all, the rich,the poor

We’d better get prepared without delay

I saw the shape of death rush through the door

I do not know the words of any prayer

Death will come and loss will leave us bare

I saw the shape of death come through the door

I’ve lost so much I can’t lose any more
