Saint-Saëns, C. Janssen & Epica lyrics: C. Janssen When it seems like all hope is gone Hear my sinister song Why don’t you sing along? Come forward embrace the unknown You’re welcome in my haunted home This abbey where stories are told Watch closely, a nightmare unfolds It’s time to free the ghost in me Possessed by this beautiful melody Just come with me I’ll make you see To dance with the dead is your destiny Oh no, we’re afraid of the night You’ll be safe, just be brave, there’s no need to be scared Oh no, we’ll stay here in the light Come on have some fun, you will see the sun, when the show is done, follow if you dare Hope fades as I’m closing the door Too late, you can’t leave anymore Old fairy tales play by the rules Here there be monsters and here there be ghouls It’s time to free the ghost in me Possessed by this beautiful melody Just come with me I’ll make you see To dance with the dead is your destiny We know you’re a witch in disguise Follow me and you’ll see what I’m singing is true Oh no, don’t look into her eyes As I hypnotize you will realize you cannot escape (the) yellow and the blue It’s time to free the ghost in thee Give in to the dark phantoms agony Our choir sings eternal songs Abandon your fears while you sing along We wonder what the shadows hide Not scared anymore we shall go inside The one unnamed’s compelling thee To echo this melody endlessly Take one more step beyond this door And you will be singing forevermore The orchestra’s playing, Dark melodies swaying, Enchanting, betraying It’s time.... Feel it beginning Everything’s spinning Thunder, lightning Joyfully frightening Come and join the night with me Come enjoy the ride with me Let your ghost be free So now you see The ghost in me Eternally singing in harmony And finally We all agree To dance with the dead is our destiny As you surrender to me Gone are the days of being afraid Sing with me for eternity Come take my hand It’s not too late This must be fate If you only trust me I’ll show you the way ...my way Come together Dance forever Join us in our Endless nightmare Embracing the night While you sing With us Forevermore
