1997 - Ball Of The Damned - 07 - Ball Of The Damned
They had come far from Been invited to Lord Barker's Ball Not aware they would celebrate their fall
On the first day red wined flowed their bellies Hundred feet stepped and danced Echoes of laughter were streaming through dark vaults Barker's eyes showed their glance
Day two was the day of mysterious games Each winner got blood painted plates Added like puzzles – disclosing their sense The picture was showing their fate
They stood and stared Paralyzed Doors were locked Smoke invading
Welcome to the festival The ball of no return Inhale the smoke
Abandoned they sucked virgins – blood Abandoned they danced demons – rock Hysteria was ruling, mercy not lent Ball of the damned
Day three was the day of unbearable silence Barker prepared the last act Survivors were led to the chamber of violence The basin of death had been stacked
Dipped into the mass Gilded pain on their faces of death They'd become figures on a board of chess
