Lyrics Dearly Departed (feat. Bert McCracken) - Escape the Fate

In a world where shadows creep and crawl, demon sings a song
A tale of love in the realm of the deceased
Where tombstones loom and spirits glide, where the dead 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
Her gown, a shroud of ancient lace
A love that death couldn't erase

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 where I'll join you
Death won't keep you from me (keep you from me)

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
With one sip comes an endless sleep
'Til then, I love you endlessly

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 where I'll join you
Death won't keep you from me

I will make it through hell to be your side
There is nothing that will stop me, my bride
My dear, my love, my life

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 where I'll join you
Death won't keep you from me

When two lost souls have found their peace
Only then will this melody cease
