Dearly Departed

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Bert McCracken] In a world where shadows creep and crawl A demon sings a song A tale of love in the realm of the deceased Where tombstones loom and spirits glide Where the dead's supposed to lie A story where the living and the departed unite She waited this whole time With a ring on skeleton fingers, meant to be a bride [Pre-Chorus: Bert McCracken] Her gown, a shroud of ancient lace A love that death couldn't erase [Chorus: Bert McCracken and Craig Mabbitt] Where the shadows dance (Where the shadows dance) And whispers sing (And whispers sing) I'll never stop loving you Death won't keep you from me Beneath the stars (Beneath the stars) A ghost dancing (A ghost dancing) My time will come when I'll join you Death won't keep you from me (Keep you from me) [Verse 2: Craig Mabbitt] Such a joyful day had become gloom A bride be wed to groom Until the chandelier rained on the altar Ripping these lovers to be And the crowd screams "The poor groom, a soul ensnared Bound by vows in worlds unshared But he can't take it anymore The curtain's drawn, here is the harrowing encore" [Pre-Chorus: Craig Mabbitt] With one sip comes an endless sleep Till then, I'll love you endlessly [Chorus: Craig Mabbitt and Bert McCracken] Where the shadows dance (Where the shadows dance) And whispers sing (And whispers sing) I'll never stop loving you Death won't keep you from me Beneath the stars (Beneath the stars) A ghost dancing (A ghost dancing) My time will come when I'll join you Death won't keep you from me [Guitar Solo] [?] [Breakdown: Erik Jensen] I will make it through hell to be by your side There is nothing that will stop me, my bride My dear, my love, my life [Chorus: Bert McCracken and Craig Mabbitt] Where the shadows dance (Where the shadows dance) And whispers sing (And whispers sing) I'll never stop loving you Death won't keep you from me Beneath the stars (Beneath the stars) A ghost dancing (A ghost dancing) My time will come when I'll join you Death won't keep you from me (Keep you from me) [Outro: Bert McCracken] When two lost souls have found their peace Only then will this melody cease
