Danse Macabre - BPRD music video

Happy (Belated) Halloween! ^^()

"Danse Macabre" by Camille Saint-Saens starring the 'Angel of Death' and 'Karl Rupert Kroenen' from the Hellboy movies!

According to ancient superstition, "Death" appears at midnight every year on Halloween. Death has the power to call forth the dead from their graves to dance for him while he plays his violin. His skeletons dance for him until the first break of dawn, when they must return to their graves until the next year.

Lyrics of the accompanying poem (by Henry Cazalis) are:

Zig, zig, zig, Death in cadence,
Striking with his heel a tomb,
Death at midnight plays a dance-tune,
Zig, zig, zag, on his violin.

The winter wind blows, and the night is dark;
Moans are heard in the linden trees.
Through the gloom, white skeletons pass,
Running and leaping in their shrouds.

Zig, zig, zig, each one is frisking,
The bones of the dancers are heard to crack.
Zig zig, zig, Death contines,
The unending scraping on his instrument.

But hist! of a sudden they quit the dance,
They push forward, they fly; the cock has crowed.
