Riot - Dance of death lyrics

Shadow puppets

The old man nearly died

They dance in the light from his hand

He remembers when fate was more kind

And cool summer rain soaked the land

Bells in the temple, a buddah Reclines

Meanwhile to the east and again to the north

Shiva awaits in the sand

Smooth as leather - unchained by the blade

A face made of stone will remain

Who will remember the love that we made

And hand writes a word and the word is genocide

Kill not your enemy

Love not your friend

Turning in ecstasy

We learn the dance of death

No water

One in ten survive

Cries of the damned flood the land

Another leader more dead than alive

With innocent blood on his hand

Gunfire by dayligth - murder by night

Run to the hills on the voyage of your past

Memories faded by night

Nowhere to go so they learn how to dance

Their hands speak of days left behind

Your murderer's your saviour by strange circumstance

A lesson in lies for the children of the damned

Kill not your enemy

Love not your friend

Turning in ecstasy

We learn the dance of death

Silent as angels

The old man survive

Serene as a statue they stand

They drink propaganda and breath cyanide

Meanwhile in Asia the rains begin again

Kill not your enemy

Love not your friend

Turning in ecstasy

We learn the dance of death
