The blood rains down, in the land of the dead The visible darkness, where angels dare to tread A disease of the masses, the inherent decay Language of the devil, our faith dissolved in misery The plague is killing one by one Infecting the core of our faith The true beginning of our end As the chimes of the clock resonate We dance alone in the darkest room Where life and death are jest Now your minions fall to me In darkness, red death Condemned to kill time, thus we die every minute The pendulum swings in rhythmic disdain Our hopeless quest to defy mortality Bereft of all doubt, our haven becomes our tomb Deliver us from evil, nameless here for evermore The malevolent presence of the wretch we created In the mouth of madness, black chaos comes again As the crimson sky forms the means to our end
