[Instrumental]
				

Borrowing freedom, you are alone here
Come on and taste it
The piece of my sweet lie
Running round about it
Running to nowhere
Do you think that you got the best life

Subtle deceiving, flying delusions
Wearing a mask
Sure that you'll chose it?
No one breaks your strongest illusions
Hold your disguise
If you need it, don't lose it

Raven, do you know what you're asking about
There is a shining in tour eyes now
Ready, you are for the run round about
Well, i have got
A shocking surprise now

Carnival dominos, common disguises
All it becomes to you,
All it defends for you
Come, taste it, don't mind the prices
Sell your heart to the master of fancies 
				

Restrain the scream of pear breaking out
The time before the dawn is not the end
Stand up and hail this everlasting hour
Except your dreams there's nothing to defend

You break your mirrors sacrificed your tears
You give the fear everything you have
The memories are driving you insane here
And now i see your souls already dead

Come on, hold on, salvations will be given
The slashes on your soul will cicatrize
But golden rays won't give you the oblivion
And you will damn the sunlight will rise 
				

In the heart of darkness
In the hand of madness
There your soul is buried
In your wildest nightmare
Drifting in the visions
Running through your fingers
Where you are forever
Doomed to share the horror

Giving no endeavour
No regeneration
Master of illusions
Make you shake and shiver
Where you are forever
In the heart of blackness
All that you can feel
The desperate touch of fear

And the ghosts are dancing
You can hear their moaning
Everything you lived for
Everyone you longed for
Everything you gave fore
Everyone you wronged for
All became the ashes
All became the moons glow
				

God, when the dawn is dark and cold
Rising dead above an empty earth
The ringing of the belts will stop

Above the dark and drooping world
Let the empty skies disclose
On fields, revengeful ravens whirl

Key you, the mournful birds of night
Whose nests are tossed bylcy winds
On roads where grumbling crosses rise

Come, frightful black magicians
Along the banks of yellowed fronds
Quickly disperse this evimorde

Claw away the sight of land
Where cold winter never ends
The corpse shows you his hand
Remind the passers by of it
The voice of duty must be heard
And they fulfill it, to the word 
				

Mystical mass near fiery gate
What's there - heaven or hell? Who knows…
Eternity take your fetters away
Divinity watch how it's burning to ashes

In writhes and torture the night was burnt out
But still it's fermenting and smouldering in blood
Go away you insane and foul
Heaven will curse forever you vows

A blind belief in immortal gods
Is beaten card of the insane ones
The stone grasp of an iron bonds
It is the plague of ancient times 
				

Lo! 'tis a gala night within
The lonesome latter years!
An angel throng, bewinged, bedecked
In veils. And drowned in tears
Sit in a theater, to see
A play of hopes and fears
While the orchestra breathes
The music of the spheres

Mimes, in the form of god in high
Mutter and mumble low,
And hilher they and thither fly
Mere puppets they who come and go
At bidding of vast formless things
That shift the scenery beneath
Flapping from out their condor wings
Invisible woe!

That molley drama! - Oh, be sure
It will not be forgot
With phantom chased for evermore
By a crowd that seize it not
Through circle ever returned
Into the self same spot
And much of madness, more of sin
And horror, the soul of plot

But see, amid the mimic rout
A crawling shape intrude!
A blood red thing that writhes from out
The scenic solitude!
It writhes! It writhes - with mortal pangs
The mimes become its food
And seraphs sob at vermin pangs
In human gore imbued

Out all the lights - out all of them
And over each quivering form
The curtain, a funeral pall
Comes down with the rush of a storm
And angels, all pallid and wan
Uprising, unveiling, affirm
That the play is the tragedy, "man"
And its hero, the conqueror worm 
				

[Instrumental]
				

Do you hear the noise that makes you tremble
The shaking bones, the magic spells
The moan of ghosts that roam and wremble
The snowstorm, crying bells

Do you see the dancers, see the party
Do you hear they scream, invite and call
So bloodless, dark and demon hearted
The Satan rules their bloody ball

Dance, dance, do you see'em dance!

The hanged men whirl, the choral chills you
The bloody mirth goes on and on
Their hellish laugh is go in to thrill you
Do you peel their pain, do you hear their groans

Dance, dance, do you see'em dance!

The hangman's dance is never ending
The fiddlers weep, the blizzards roll
This power of evil their defending
This dismal place, the gallow's pole

Dance, dance, do you see'em dance!
