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
