The Masque of the Red Death Songtext
von Etwas

Among vivid blue, deep green, white and pure violet
There was a black room, fully adorned with the darkest velvet
Through its bloody red windows where no candelabrum light could shine
Shadows turned to dread shapes when the ebony clock began to chime

Within his walls, he gave his guests so many splendors
Dances and laughts, feast and wonders, revelry galore
While outside plague and pestilence terrified
While lives extinguished for the reaper satisfied

Hear this dim death knell
See this corpse shrouded in crimson, and his skull so pale
Hear this dim death knell
Where the putrid black disease won, here′s the Masque of the Red Death


Dabbled in blood, his bony hands besprinkled with the scarlet horror
The spectral image slided like a ghost, releasing the Prince furore
A dagger as only weapon, the duke fell appart and his heart broke
Cursing the deadly specter
Whispering at the last beat of the ebony clock

And summoning the wild courage of despair
Revellers found the shroud empty in a very last dare
The Red Death came like a thief in the night
Scattered bodies in blood dew, in a color so bright

Hear this dim death knell
See this corpse shrouded in crimson, and his skull so pale
Hear this dim death knell
Where the putrid black disease won, here's the Masque of the Red Death
