Danse Macabre Lyrics by Delain

A Decade of Delain: Live at Paradiso

2016

[Verse 1]
Just 'cause it's part of a plan
That doesn't make it right
If I put my life in your hands
It's still unmistakably mine

[Pre-Chorus]
Dark its wings across a pitch-black sky
Death will come for me, but not tonight

[Chorus]
Let the earth cover me
Angels will call for me
But in time, not tonight
Let the earth cover me (Let the earth cover me)
Angels will call for me (Angels will call for me)
But in time, not tonight

[Verse 2]
I said I'd walk the mile
Not that I'd walk in line
I can not promise I'll smile
But I can promise I'll try

[Pre-Chorus]
If I ever make another vow
It's to live for what's right here and now

[Chorus]
Let the earth cover me
Angels will call for me
But in time, not tonight
Let the earth cover me (Let the earth cover me)
Angels will call for me (Angels will call for me)
But in time, not tonight

[Bridge]
It's the art of death, give me your best
Give me your darkest
It's the art of the fall that comes for each and all, but
I'll keep it waiting for me
It's the art of death
Give me your best
Give me your best

[Interlude]
On the second that I fall apart
I will greet your old familiar face
But I reckon it won't be today
Not today

[Chorus]
Let the earth cover me
Angels will call for me
But in time, not tonight
Let the earth cover me (Let the earth cover me)
Angels will call for me (Angels will call for me)
But in time, not tonight
Let the earth cover me (Let the earth cover me)

[Outro]
Let the earth cover me (Let the earth cover me)
Let the earth cover me (Let the earth cover me)
Let the earth cover me (Let the earth cover me)
