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 aware of a presence so (1)________ to me
Watching my (2)__________ move
Feeling scared and I fell to my knees
As something rushed me from the trees
Took me to an (3)____________ place
And (4)________ is where I fell from grace
Then they summoned me over to (5)________ in (6)________ them
To the dance of the dead
Into the circle of fire I followed them
Into the middle I was led

As if time had stopped still I was numb (7)________ fear
But (8)__________ I (9)____________ to go
And the blaze of the (10)________ did no hurt (11)________ me
As I walked onto the coals
And I felt I was in a trance
And my (12)____________ was lifted from me
And if only 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 (13)______________ they were undead all of them
They had ascended from hell

As I danced with the dead
My free (14)____________ 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 (15)____________ came (16)________ down to me
I didn't know if I was alive or dead
As the others all joined in (17)________ me

By luck (18)________ a skirmish started
And took the (19)__________________ away from me
When they took their gaze from me
Was the (20)____________ that I fled
I ran (21)________ hell faster than the wind
But behind I did not glance
One (22)__________ that I did not dare
Was to look just straight ahead

When you (23)________ (24)________ (25)________ time has come around
You know you'll be prepared for it
Say your last goodbyes to everyone
Drink and say a prayer for it

When you're lying in your sleep
When you're lying in your bed
And you wake from (26)________ dreams to go dancing with the dead
When you're lying in (27)________ sleep
When you're lying in your bed
And you (28)________ from your (29)____________ to go dancing with the dead

To (30)________ day I guess I'll never know
Just why they let me go
But I'll never go dancing no more
'Til I dance with the dead
