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 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 of the red death No one is safe from the poisonous plague That you breed Masque of the red death No one is saved, no one remembers your 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 veins A new king of death threatens us all Masque of the red death No one is safe from the poisonous plague That you breed Masque of the red death The price that you pay for your lust May be your life
