EmThe sound of the jungle is beating in my head
GBut I know my F#mmind aint my Emown
EmWhy am I still walking when I know I should be dead
GWhy won't it leF#mave me aloEmne
G#7My feet move in rhythm to the deE7ath dance
G#7But my heart stopped beating long E7ago
G#7I wanted to live but I had E7no chance
GMy mind keeps F#mmoving even Emso
I died 48 hours ago
But I'm still walking around
Something wont let me lie in peace
There aint no rest to be found
The people are dancing around me
The witchdoctor stands and he stares
His magical powers have bound me
The voodoo rites have ensnared
Now they have made me a zombie
I got to do what they say
Now I am in there power
Their aint no escape no way
Wont you come and join in my death dance
The powers of the old ones entwine
You wanted to live you got no chance
Their aint know place you can hide
