How do the living raise the dead? Up from the depths There's much to say that's not been said Appeal of bells Ringing in time Like cutting knives A calling and a compromise Follow the chimes - do join us in the night In an echoing wood they sway In the costume of their day The dead and living dance together It's the time and it's the weather Common men, uncommon crimes Long since denied They're devils from the other side Well now, if you hear their song And feel compelled to stay We'll note the time, we'll note the day Follow the chimes - do join us in the night In an echoing wood they sway In the costume of their day The dead and living dance together It's the time and it's the weather Rum and the devil's mob In a dance macabre And we've sent out invitations To late friends abroad Rum and the devil's mob In a dance macabre And we've sent out invitations To late friends abroad In an echoing wood they sway In the costume of their day The dead and living dance together It's the time and it's the weather In an echoing wood they sway In the costume of their day The dead and living dance together It's the time and it's the weather
