Death
It's such an ancient story
Though new for me
Two rivals sworn to win you
Him and...me
You've made your decision
I have failed your test
Now I'm here as your mere humble guestYou've say you've never loved me
So you deny
To him you've sworn your fealty
Then tell me why
In his arms so tender
You turn and smile at me
And where that will lead us
You will seeThe final dance
Your final dance
Is mine and mine alone
The final dance
Your final dance
You'll dance with me aloneIt sags and drags you under
The flow of time
The air grows stale and heavy
Like soured wine
Hidden eyes surround us
Watching for the cue
Waiting for our fated rendezvous...The final dance
Your final dance
Is mine and mine alone
The final dance
Your final dance
You'll dance with me aloneSo I wait from the darkness
Till the day you'll give in
I may have lost the battle
But the war I will winThe final dance
Your final dance
Is mine and mine alone
The final dance
Your final dance
You'll dance with me aloneChorus
Vienna's doomed, we are doomed
Shadows in the void of time!W/Death vocalizing
The final dance
Our final dance
Is his and his alone
The final dance
Your final dance
You'll dance with me/him a—Death
Me alone!
