Lyrics for The Night Masquerade
A scarlet sunset The threshold to nightplay A sinful oath is to be sworn A beckoning bloodlust Among the seekers Tyrranic hunger yearns A gathering in flames and fires - Devil's daughters dance Scourged in filth, obscene and lewd - Longing for dark desires The nocturnal beast appears In an evil despotic shape Expectant watching gracelessly Before demanding the sluts of lust Before demanding the sluts of lust (The Beast:) "Come forth harlots, let's begin!" (The Beast approaches:) "Rise and give praise in front of Me And recieve eternal life from Me! Welcome my spirit in honor of Me! So drink of the blood I provide you And you shall all forever wander in The shadows of death...! (The chanting whores:) "Oh yes, Master! Let us recieve Thine offer and drink with Thee! And become a part of Thy realm With lust, sex and sodomy - For we are those who seek life eternally...! (The Beast): "Blood is life and it shall be all ours!"
