Cathedral Haunting - Masque Of The Red Death

(Verse 1) In a palace high with walls of gold, A masquerade, secrets untold, Laughter echoes in the candlelight, While shadows dance, deep in the night. (Pre-Chorus) But outside the gates, a specter roams, A crimson shroud, the death it sows, The revelers don their masks of cheer, Unknowing the truth that’s drawing near. (Chorus) Dance, oh dance, in the masquerade, While the clock strikes on, don’t be afraid, But beneath the silk and jeweled gleam, The red death whispers, shattering dreams. (Verse 2) Colors swirl, the music plays, A fleeting thrill in this darkened maze, But eyes will shift as the hour grows late, A haunting presence they cannot escape. (Pre-Chorus) With every twirl, a breath they hold, A tale of fate that’s turning bold, In the mirrors’ depths, a visage hides, The end of night where hope subsides. )Chorus) Dance, oh dance, in the masquerade, While the clock strikes on, don’t be afraid, But beneath the silk and jeweled gleam, The red death whispers, shattering dreams. (Bridge) In the final hour, the truth unfolds, As the revelers start to lose their hold, A figure cloaked in crimson rage, Marks the end of this gaudy stage. (Chorus) Dance, oh dance, in the masquerade, While the clock strikes on, don’t be afraid, But beneath the silk and jeweled gleam, The red death whispers, shattering dreams. (Outro) So gather close, as the candles dim, There’s nowhere to run from the shadow’s whim, In the mask of fate, we all must play, The red death waits, to claim its prey.
