Masque of the Red Death - Cult of the New Gods (Halloween Metal Music)

Step inside the masquerade… and face the plague.
“Masque of the Red Death” is a crushing gothic metal track inspired by the classic Edgar Allan Poe tale. Featuring massive DOOM-style guitars, electric cello, cathedral choir, pipe organ, and harpsichord, this song is a dark reimagining of Poe’s vision of inevitable death and decay.

Masque of the Red Death
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Dies irae… dies illa…

Banquet blazing, crimson flame
Dancers whirl in silk and gold
But through the doors, a shadow came
A faceless terror, silent, cold

Masque of the Red Death
No kingdom walls can save
Masque of the Red Death
All fall before the plague

The seventh hall, obsidian black
The clock tolls loud, the music dies
The phantom strikes, no turning back
Blood runs crimson in their eyes

Masque of the Red Death
No fortress, crown, or king
Masque of the Red Death
The bells of ruin ring

Seven rooms, seven sins
No mask conceals the death within

Masque of the Red Death
No fortress, crown, or king
Masque of the Red Death
The bells of ruin ring

Masque of the Red Death
The final breath is near
Masque of the Red Death
All silence now is here

Masque of the Red Death
Masque of the Red Death

Mors venit… mors regnat…
