Danse Macabre - Tristesse (of Cardinals And Skeletons) lyrics

Blood red skies like a messenger of doom Skeletons on parade in villages on fire Divine maidens suffering from the plague Apocalypse my friend put these cities into dust Dust on coffin lits Tales never told Citizens living in cages of gla** Writing poetry in the fields of bretagne But hear the cries of a distant battle Cardinals in decay and Gods who failed everywhere Nero's fiddle distuned, Rome into flames With wings wide spread I wish to fly Like an eagle embracing the sky Dying during a final flight Oh deliver me from life Plundering savages drunk with bloodlust Knights in armour now long vanished Jesters holding the crown Noblesse fading away Noblesses fading Blood red skies like a messenger of doom Skeletons on parade in villages on fire Divine maidens suffering from the plague Apocalypse my friend put these cities into dust Dust on coffin lits Tales never told Citizens living in cages of gla** Writing poetry in the fields of Bretagne But hear the cries of a distant battle Cardinals in decay Gods who failed everywhere Gods who failed... TRISTESSE!
