Cabaret of Death Lyrics by Morticia

D.O.A.

1988

[Intro]
As the audience filled the vast darkness upon the empty theatre, the expensive seats were occupied by moralistic straight-laced citizens mixed right in with criminals, harlots, and lechers, all with the need to satisfy morbid curiosity...
The curtain rises as the fanfare begins
Ravenous eyes among Renfield grins
Crimson coagulates within the veins
Hunger beckons the performers to dance
Porcelain white figures, hypnotic trance
The crucified crowd provides the feast
Heed the warning, you're blind to the words
The Braille epitaph can never be heard
When it says your name
You never can turn away
Welcome to the Cabaret of Death
The final curtain waits for you
Tainted with terror as the thespians unveil
Tales from the crypt as the specters prevail
All of your senses now deprived
The squeamish in the crowd begin to squirm
As the hero falls prey to the conquered worm
Widows of mourning conclude now
Heed the warning, you're blind to the words
The Braille epitaph can never be heard
When it says your name
You never can turn away
Welcome to the Cabaret of Death
The final curtain waits for you
Acts of violence stimulate your evil side
In your former life you could've been de Sade
Dominant, submissive - who will play the role?
Welcome to the Cabaret of Death
Welcome to the Cabaret of Death
The final curtain waits for you
Welcome to the Cabaret of Death
The final curtain waits for you
