I'm so tired of dancing
Every night in this terrible place
Even when I'm waking
I still hear the music play
There's no rest in sleeping
When I close my eyes I'm taken away
To spin and waltz unceasing
Until the break of day
Iron bells ring
Silver harp strings
Leaden singing
Never ending
Never ending
Ever since I've tasted
The banquet in that horrible house
Food or wine is wasted
It all turns to ash in my mouth
How my heart is haunted
Am I cursed or under a spell?
Spend my life enchanted
A tale I can never tell
Iron bells ring
Silver harp strings
Leaden singing
Never ending
Never ending
Never ending
Never ending
Is it the light from my candle
Or the light of the moon
That casts the dancing shadows
On the walls of the room?
The soles of my slippers
They are worn straight through
I don't know how on earth
I could explain to you
If it's even true
If only I knew
What can I do?
Day is nearly over
The setting sun gives one final gleam
I'm swept up like a feather
In a strange recurring dream
Dancers swirl around me
In this mad infernal soirée
Their wild eyes surround me
There's no hope for any escape
Iron (Iron bells ring)
Bells ring (Silver harp strings)
Silver (Leaden singing)
Harp strings (Never ending)
Leaden (Iron bells ring)
Singing (Silver harp strings)
Never (Leaden singing)
Ending (Never ending)
Never ending
Never ending
Never ending
