Dance Of Death (Live) by Iron Maiden

...
Let me tell you a story to chill the bones
About a (1)__________ 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 near to me
Watching my every move
Feeling scared and I fell to my knees
As (2)__________________ rushed me (3)________ the trees
Took me to an unholy place
And (4)________ is where I fell from grace
Then they summoned me over to (5)________ in with them
To the dance of the dead
Into the (6)____________ of fire I (7)________________ them
Into the (8)____________ I was led

As if time had stopped (9)__________ I was numb with fear
But still I wanted to go
And the blaze of the fire did no hurt upon me
As I walked onto the coals
And I felt I was in a trance
And my spirit 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 (10)______________ they (11)________ undead all of them
They had ascended from hell

As I danced with the dead
My free spirit was laughing and (12)______________ down at me
Below my undead body
Just danced the circle of dead
Until the time came to reunite us both
My spirit (13)________ (14)________ down to me
I didn't (15)________ if I was alive or dead
As the others all joined in with me

By luck then a (16)________________ started
And (17)________ the attention away (18)________ me
When they took their gaze from me
Was the moment that I fled
I ran like (19)________ 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 know that your time has (20)________ around
You know you'll be prepared for it
Say (21)________ last goodbyes to everyone
Drink and say a (22)____________ for it

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

To (26)________ day I guess I'll (27)__________ know
Just why they let me go
But I'll never go dancing no more
'Til I (28)__________ (29)________ the dead
