Текст песни Masquerade (Forlorn Path) с переводом

Enter this masquerade of vanity and greed

Faceless shadows dancing without care

Forsaken truth, minds entranced

Blind to their demise

Empty vessels

Breed corruption

As the clock nears

Their hour of penance

Devoid of thought

Servile

Pawns in this twisted charade

As the world suffers

At the reddest hands of fate

Empty vessels

Breed corruption

As the clock nears

Their hour of penance

Devoid of thought

Servile

Pawns in this twisted charade

And now was acknowledged the presence of the Red Death.

He had come like a thief in the night. And one by one

Dropped the revellers in the blood-bedewed halls of their revel,

And died each in the despairing posture of his fall.

And the life of the ebony clock went

out with that of the last of the gay.

And the flames of the tripods expired.

And Darkness, and Decay, and the Red Death

Held illimitable dominion

Over all.

As their phantasmic waltz comes to end

They face the doom they’ve brought upon themselves

Glorified idols painted with fear

Time marches on without a care

Empty vessels

Breed corruption

As the clock nears

Their hour of penance

Empty vessels

Breed corruption

As the clock rings

Their hour of penance
