Masque of the Red Death

The pain lingers on beyond these castle walls

The red death is taking them all

While the king and his court dance the night away

At the masquerade

The hour of midnight grows near

Masque, masque of the red death

No one is safe from the poisonous plague

That you breed

Dance while you may in the dark of the room

With the stranger

Laugh while you may, laugh at the danger

Is this a message from god

Or fate guiding hideous hands?

Won't you show us your face

Masque, masque of the red deathNo one is safe from the poisonous plagueThat you breedMasque, masque of the red death

No one is saved, no one remembers your nameYour name

On and on, one by one we fall

Into the bleeding arms of the stranger

Ripping the masque from your face

I feel your disease running

Through my veinsA new kind of death threatens us all

Masque, masque of the red deathNo one is safe from the poisonous plague

That you breed

Masque, masque of the red death

The price that you pay for your lust

May be your life
