Dance of the Dismembered
[Intro – Instrumental]
The night trembles…
The shadows twitch…
A symphony of the damned begins…
[Verse 1]
Step into the carnage, the floor is their flesh,
Limbs swing in rhythm, in blood-red mesh.
The corpses rise, eyes hollow and wide,
They sway to the madness, nowhere to hide.
Screams as percussion, bone snaps in time,
A grotesque waltz, both cursed and divine.
The air reeks of death, the moon watches cold,
The dance of the dismembered, uncontrolled.
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear the laughter of the corpse, echoing clear,
Every step a nightmare, every turn a fear…
[Chorus]
Dance of the Dismembered, the feast of the dead,
Limbs entwined, blood is shed.
In shadows we twirl, in horror we glide,
In the macabre ballroom, there’s nowhere to hide.
[Verse 2]
Spines as the metronome, skulls beat in sync,
Eyesockets gleam as the wine of death we drink.
Hands torn from shoulders, yet still they clap,
Feet without ankles complete the trap.
No mercy, no pause, the rhythm enslaves,
We waltz on the tombs of forgotten graves.
The night is a canvas, painted in gore,
The orchestra plays forevermore.
[Bridge – Slow, crushing doom section]
Bone-crushing riffs, like hammers from hell,
Every chord a story, every note a knell.
The corpses convulse, the earth shakes below,
In this morbid ballet, only the dead show.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Hear the laughter of the corpse, echoing clear,
Every step a nightmare, every turn a fear…
[Chorus]
Dance of the Dismembered, the feast of the dead,
Limbs entwined, blood is shed.
In shadows we twirl, in horror we glide,
In the macabre ballroom, there’s nowhere to hide.
[Breakdown – Fast, brutal, almost grindcore]
Heads roll, spines snap, limbs pierce the night,
The rhythm unstoppable, the horror alight.
Twist, turn, spin, fall, rise again,
This dance is eternal, a gruesome refrain.
[Final Chorus – Layered, chaotic]
Dance of the Dismembered, scream with delight,
Revel in torment, surrender to fright.
Through gore and shadow, through madness and pain,
In this endless danse macabre, we reign.
[Outro – Instrumental Fade]
The night exhales…
The corpses bow…
The dance… continues… forever…
