Dearly Departed (feat. Bert McCracken)

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
