Theme
A disco-inspired anthem about the medieval phenomenon of danse macabre—people literally dancing and partying until death while the plague raged. The song captures the desperate hedonism of doomed populations: a joyous nocturnal celebration as a coping mechanism when mortality is certain. It's a haunting meditation on how humans face oblivion through revelry and excess.
Lyrics
You'll soon be hearing
the chime close to midnight.
If I could turn back the time
I'd make all right.
How could it end like this?
There's a sting in the way you kiss me.
Something within your eyes
said it could be the last time.
Before it's over!
Just wanna be,
wanna bewitch you
in the moonlight
Just wanna be,
I wanna bewitch you
all night.
It keeps on giving
me chills, but I know now.
I feel the closer we
get to the last bow.
I don't wanna end like this,
but there's sting in
the way you kiss me.
I'm loving it!
Something within your eyes
said it could be the last time,
before it's over!
Just wanna be,
wanna bewitch you
in the moonlight
Just wanna be,
I wanna bewitch you
all night.
Just wanna be,
I wanna bewitch you
one last time in
the ancient rite.
Just wanna be,
I wanna bewitch you
all night.
Just wanna be,
wanna bewitch you
in the moonlight
Just wanna be,
I wanna bewitch you
all night.
