Dance of Death - Iron Maiden Contest
Listen to poem:
"When you're lying in your sleep, when you're lying in your bed
And you wake from your dreams to go dancing with the dead"
Dance of Death, Iron Maiden
You are lying in your sleep, as you are lying in your bed
Wake from your dreams, go dancing with the dead
Dispose of your misconceptions, let yourself fall deep
As you are lying in your bed, you are lying in your sleep
Eyes open with gaze intent, map this real view
You are aware reality, is not what you really knew
Let focus find it's lingo, let all forevers augment
Map this real view, eyes open with gaze intent
Softly softly guided, hand taken with care
Dancing with the dead, unhooks held tight despair
Gentle waltz of love and grace, all your fears confided
Hand taken with care, softly softly guided
Lead back to truly living, now freed from all self hate
Gifted new perspective, inner peace create
Don't regret years wasted, though tough and unforgiving
Now freed from all self hate, lead back to truly living
Lay safely in your bed, peaceful and protected in sleep
Dancing does revitalise, these lives we wish to keep
Ancestrally we are cherished, there is no need to dread
Peaceful and protected in sleep, lay safely in your bed
