Enter this masquerade of vanity and greed Faceless shadows dancing without care Forsaken truth, minds entranced Blind to their demise
Empty vessels Breed corruption As the clock nears Their hour of penance
Devoid of thought Servile Pawns in this twisted charade
As the world suffers At the reddest hands of fate
Empty vessels Breed corruption As the clock nears Their hour of penance
Devoid of thought Servile Pawns in this twisted charade
And now was acknowledged the presence of the Red Death. He had come like a thief in the night. And one by one dropped the revellers in the blood-bedewed halls of their revel, and died each in the despairing posture of his fall. And the life of the ebony clock went out with that of the last of the gay. And the flames of the tripods expired. And Darkness, and Decay, and the Red Death held illimitable dominion over all.
As their phantasmic waltz comes to end They face the doom they’ve brought upon themselves Glorified idols painted with fear Time marches on without a care
Empty vessels Breed corruption As the clock nears Their hour of penance
Empty vessels Breed corruption As the clock rings Their hour of penance
