Dig up those who've died
Underneath the ground there's a muffled sound
Heartbeats beating for a lifeless crowd
Mixed in with the dead, hear it in your head
Hear us, sing with us!
Pounding in your ears, it's the sound of fun
Twirling with our pals 'till the night is done
It's a good 'ol time every now and then
Hear us, dance with us!
Everybody, gather 'round the shovel
Spin in a spiral form
Ha ha, it's a happy sound
Gore, soil, decay and more!
Everybody, now, we'll sing together
Louder and louder, more
Ho ho, it's a happy song
We all fall down
Everybody seems to enjoy themselves
Underneath the stars, we are dancing
I held hands with someone I haven't seen
I never knew no good, what's in the spirit world
Uh oh
Here we go
You now belong to me
Your body never free
I don't know what you mean...
(Here we go)
Uh oh
Here we go
Everybody, gather 'round the shovel
Spin in a spiral form
Ha ha, it's a happy sound
Gore, soil, decay and more!
Everybody now, we'll sing together
Louder and louder, more
Ho ho, it's a happy song
We all fall down
Everybody gather 'round the shovel
Spin in a spiral form
Ha ha, it's a funny song
I'll never be the same
Everybody, please, take caution now
I'm not sure what's happening
Ho ho, this surreal song
We all fall down
The silence penetrates me
It's getting hard to breathe
I can't see anything here
Inside his eyes
The monsters coming for me
It's getting hard to feel
The numbing spreading through me
Inside his mind
The static generating
It's easier to breathe
I see a world before me
Inside my eyes
This child keeps on crying
It's easier to feel
My voice speaks out to him
"It's a shame"
Everybody, gather 'round the shovel
Spin in a spiral form
Ha ha, it's a happy sound
Gore, soil, decay and more
Everybody now, we'll sing together
Louder and louder, more
Ho ho, it's a happy song
We all fall down
You're amongst the living
You are not excused from insanity
Ha ha, it's a happy song
Your body and your demise
You will not decay so
There's no need to cry, little boy of mine
Ho ho, it's a happy song
You never fall
Everyone's falling six feet under
Spinning in a spiral form
Ha ha, unsere fröhlich leid
I think that this is the end!
Everyone, we will keep on singing
Louder and louder, more
Ho ho, unsere fröhlich leid
We all fall down!
