Escape The Fate
Dearly Departed
[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 glade
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

[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
