The Masquerade Lyrics by Forgotten Faces

The Masquerade

2015

Come one, come all eager to be
Inside the prosperous sanctuary
Come with us, for we all must hide
Disregard all the others who died
Pestilence so fatal and dire
Bodies burning in the funeral pyre
Blood is its avatar and its seal
The masque of the death is soon to be revealed
Round, they spin in revelry and jest
Blissfully unaware of what awaits them in the dark
Be swayed by the music
(strike the hour and the world will never see you again)
One by one, they submit to masquerade
Sleeping safe in ignorance
(strike the hour and the world will never see you again)
Bleeding face in the deathly masquerade, the masquerade
Seven chambers dressed in tone
No one dares tread the last one alone
The clock chimes for their discontent
Unsettled in the masquerade jest
Come one, come all, we're starting the ball
But who is that stranger there in the hall?
Cloak of black and face is red
Imitation of victim to the red death
He passes through, parting the crowds, he stalks
As the midnight bell begins to sound, he walks
Heading for the room with scarlet glass
The prince follows as the revelers pass
Pull back the rotted hood to see
The stranger is the disease
The bodies falling one by one
And all are dead before the sun
With one last gasping, dying breath
You can't escape the red death
