“Dance Macabre” talks about the Black Death, and how the pandemic killed thousands of people in a matter of days.
The presence of death in every corner left everyone living like there’s no tomorrow; Europe was in a macabre dance. The song title is a reference to Camille Saint-Saëns “Danse macabre,”...
Dance Macabre Lyrics
[Verse 1: Cardinal Copia]
You'll soon be hearing the chime
Close to midnight
If I could turn back the time
I'd make all right
[Pre-Chorus: Cardinal Copia]
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
'Fore it's over!
[Chorus: Cardinal Copia]
Just wanna be
Wanna bewitch you in the moonlight
Just wanna be
I wanna bewitch you all night
[Verse 2: Cardinal Copia]
It keeps on giving me chills
But I know now
I feel the closer we get
To the last bow
[Pre-Chorus: Cardinal Copia]
I don't wanna end like this (Cataclysm)
But there's sting in the way you kiss me (Armageddon)
Something within your eyes said it could be the last time
'Fore it's over!
[Chorus: Cardinal Copia]
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
[Guitar Solo: Tom Delgety]
[Chorus: Cardinal Copia]
Just wanna be
Wanna bewitch you in the moonlight
Just wanna be
Wanna bewitch you all night
Just wanna be
Wanna bewitch you in the moonlight
Just wanna be
I wanna bewitch you all night
[Outro: Cardinal Copia]
All night
Woah, woah, woah, woah

What did Ghost say about "Dance Macabre"?
Europe was in this turmoil in the late 1340s. The plague is extremely fast. It starts off as the worst flu you’ve ever had and then it just goes worse and then you’re dead after three days. So people were lying in the streets — corpses and all the surroundings were just falling apart. All the brothe...
What have the artists said about the more poppy sound?
I had the riff that starts the whole song, that was just a riff that got stuck in my head. I didn’t think of it as a Ghost thing at first. Because I heard the riff in a slightly more “synth-y” sort of way. But I showed it to some songwriting pals of mine and they were like, “That’s a Ghost song!” Oh...
