lyrics

(Excerpt from an anonymously written poem)

There was once a town named Valcinde
Whose folk would dance and sing
Their tales were lively and gay
Voices uplifted, winter, fall or spring

Until that fateful moonlight night
A thick fog crept through the air
The happy folk still sung and danced
Without so much a simple care

Fate was unkind, for the fog was doom
A magical scourge that stole all breath
Those caught within its black grasp
Clutched their throats in the ilk of death

The fog crept away, its claws gorged on blood
as the people withered in its wake
Defenseless and weak, Thieves smiled wide
and stole through, taking all they could take

The dead were left to rot, without a prayer
the few still alive saved all they could save
They quickly buried their loved ones
In ditches that could barely be graves

The town crumbled, its song never heard
Walls into pebbles, trees into dust
But the spirits of the folk were stubborn
Sing and dance they surely must!

The only building left was the dance hall
It's sturdiness withstood the brunt of time
the dead rise to continue their macabre song
when fourtimes the old bell chimes

Wary, Traveler! This land is cursed!
Do not stop, for the dead still dance!
Should they see you, their eyes will stare
And you shall be caught in death's trance!

Danger lurks, a town turned catacombs
a dance hall where the dead dance, free
beware, for if you hear the bell fourtimes chime
I beg of you, poor soul, you must FLEE!
