Lyrics
The Masque of the Red Death (Prologue)
(Prologue written by Edgar Allan Poe)
THE "Red Death" had long devastated the country. No pestilence had ever been so fatal, or so hideous. Blood was its Avatar and its seal—the redness and the horror of blood. There were sharp pains, and sudden dizziness, and then profuse bleeding at the pores, with dissolution. Scarlet stains upon the body and especially upon the face of the victim, were the pest ban which shut him out from the aid and sympathy of his fellow-men.
The Masque of the Red Death
(music & lyrics by Chris B. )
(adapted from “the Masque of the Red Death” by Edgar Allen Poe)
The prince called all his friends
And locked the abbey doors
While the pestilence raged most furiously abroad
He held a masquerade entertaining all his friends
All safe inside and without was the red death
God save our souls
Protect us from this foe
And when the last of bells will toll
Don’t let darkness possess our souls
Then with the sounding of midnight upon the clock.
All grew pale when a figure with a corpse’s mask was revealed
God save our souls
Protect us from this foe
And when the last of bells will toll
Don’t let darkness possess our souls
What a tragic scene
Was that masquerade
The mask creeped inside
And all the people died
No escape from the red death
No escape from the mask of the red death
No escape
The Masque of the Red Death (Epilogue)
(Epilogue written by Edgar Allan Poe)
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.
