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 (1)____________ 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 something (2)____________ 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 with 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 with fear
But still I wanted to go
And the blaze of the fire did no hurt upon me
As I walked (3)________ 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 (4)________________ to me
And I danced and I pranced and I sang with them
All had death in their eyes
Lifeless figures they were undead all of them
They had ascended from 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 (5)________ came to reunite us both
My spirit came back down to me
I didn't know if I was alive or dead
As the others all joined in with me

By luck then a skirmish started
And took the attention away from me
When they took (6)__________ gaze from me
Was the moment that I fled
I ran like hell faster than the wind
But behind I did not glance
One thing that I did not dare
Was to look just (7)________________ ahead

When you know that your time has come around
You know you'll be prepared for it
Say your last (8)________________ 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 (9)________ from your dreams to go dancing with the dead
When you're lying in your sleep
When you're lying in (10)________ bed
And you wake from your dreams to go dancing with the dead

To this 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
