about

This tale was originally written by Edgar Allan POE.
It's our favourite one, so we decided to write a song about it.

All the work started by Chen's original Riffs.

lyrics

THE MASQUE OF THE RED DEATH v1.5

*Intro & Break*
**Main I**
The Redness and the Horror is his bloody symbol.
Sharp pain, sudden dizziness, bleeding at the pores.
It cost just half hour to have the incident.
Feel the seizure, the progress, and the termination.
Prince and the noble hid in the abbey.
They had provided all for pleasure.
The pestilence raged furiously abroad,
But it seems no redness here.

**Main II**
A voluptuous masquerade to celebrate the chance
Devil with the masque was hiding in the darkest room.
The effect of fire-light steam upon the black hanging.
Through the blood-tinted pones,
Exposure to the black velvet carpet.
The Gigantic clock of ebony was tooling,
It tolls for the coming of the Red Death.
Something evil is getting closer!

**Chorus I**
There were arabesque figure || with unsuited limbs.
There were delirious fancies || like madman fashion.

*Bridge*
**Chorus II**
Devil! In the masque of Redness.
The Masque! The Red Death is coming!
*Solo*

**Main III**
They all are whispering the stranger they found.
The figure was tall and gaunt.
Shrouded by the scarlet shroud from grave.
The mask concealed the visage is like stiffened corpse.
The feature of his face was besprinkled with the scarlet horror.
Everyone was gasping in unutterable horror at finding.
What’s inside the grave cerements and corpse-like mask?
They handled, then find untenanted by any tangible form

**Chorus III**
There were arabesque figure || with unsuited limbs.
There were delirious fancies || like madman fashion.
**Outro**

******************************************************************
Red Death removes his mask to mock the arrogant revelers.

And Darkness and Decay and the Red Death held illimitable dominion over all.
