DANCING AT THE GATES OF HELL

This song, like Waking the Dead, is taken from a musical Steph has written, Hermaphroditus. Ash and Taylor share main vocals, with Steph providing backing vocals. This song was first performed by Danse Macabre, the previous incarnation of Haunted Honeymoon, at the infamous Ye Olde Axe, Shoreditch, in February 2009.


DANCING AT THE GATES OF HELL
(Music / Lyrics: Steph)

You've taken my music,
Do you really know what that means to me?
Flesh and bones tied to earth,
when they used to be free.

I can't go on, I need an escape,
A vent for my passion before it's too late,
I need the fever which once made me whole,
I need the music to fire my soul.

I need to dance the night away,
I need to sing the words that say,
That life is real and life is mine,
My heart beating in quick-step time.

Let me feel the rhythm, make me shake and shiver,
Like a musical whore, I'm crying out for more,
I just want to be free, I just want to be me.

It'll be a cold day in hell when you can stop the dance,
Silence is a sedative, I need my song my dance to live.
A cold day in hell when you can stop the dance,
You may mock me, but you can't stop me,
Dancing at the gates of hell, dancing at the gates of hell.

You stole my fire, you stole my thirst,
Nothing remained but the pain and the hurt,
There's a gaping hole I need you to fill,
To thrust inside me a symphonic thrill.

Pump me full of rhythm, make me shake and shiver,
I need to sway to the beat, until my needs are complete,
I just want to be free, I just want to be me.

It'll be a cold day in hell when you can stop the dance,
Silence is a sedative, I need my song my dance to live.
A cold day in hell when you can stop the dance,
You may mock me, but you can't stop me,
Dancing at the gates of hell, dancing at the gates of hell,
Dancing at the gates of hell, dancing at the gates of hell.
