As I storm throughout the land I harvest what I've sown onto your fellow men My seal is blood, my avatar Whilst I move in silence, I am never far I leave my mark, I cast you out And bless you with the scarlet stars Whilst the others turn their cheek I stand beside you and then shall reap You, prince, may flee Come, take your flock And inside your walls I seem without I rage outside While you hide yourself So we begin Our masquerade May you enter seven suites From north to south From west to east And in darkness you will feast Masquerade in red! Foolish men You pride your life May your dreams Be red tonight The twelfth bell tolls And echoes roam And thus I make My presence known Masquerade in red! And as I play the chords Of emotionless hearts My face, a mask A scarlet corpse Expire! Expire! May the flames of all expire!
