Crimson Glory - Masque of the Red Death

Crimson Glory
Masque of the Red Death

The pain lingers on beyond these castle walls
The red death is taking them all
while the king and his court dance the night away
at the masquerade
The hour of midnight grows near

Masque, Masque of the red death
No one is safe from the poisonous plague
that you breed

Dance while you may in the dark of the room
with the stranger
Laugh while you may, laugh at the danger
Is this a message from god
or fate guiding hideous hands?
Won't you show us your face

Masque, Masque of the red death
No one is safe from the poisonous plague
that you breed

Masque, Masque of the red death
No one is saved, no one remembers your name, your name...

On and on, one by one we fall
into the bleeding arms of the stranger
Ripping the masque from your face
I feel your disease running
through my veins
A new king of death threatens us all

Masque, Masque of the red death
No one is safe from the poisonous plague
that you breed

Masque, Masque of the red death
The price that you pay for your lust
may be your life

no offense but this isnt really my style of music...but i had to read "The Masque of the Red Death" by Poe for English! the story is pretty good though!

[Chon12490]

@froggyluva0014 haha well some songs are really good summaries of stories or poems. One of my teachers once used Iron Maiden's song "the rime of the ancient mariner" instead of the studying the actual poem...the poem itself is ridiculously long anyways to understand.

i just found this band and im glad i did does anybody know of any other good bands that were underated or just never found radio play???? i know of W.A.S.P. king kobra, letherwolf, and a few others

[Chon12490]

@BigishJim1 you should really try powermad, Gogmagog, Uriah Heep they kinda remind me of UFO. And if havn't heard of Lizzy Borden or the recent band Hibria they are both a must.

I dont really care for Maiden, never have really.

I am more of a Priest man, they are the innovators and opened up the entire metal genre to thrash, glam, industrial etc.

J.Priest forever!

@BigishJim1 try yngwie malmsteen he doesn't sing but he is arguably one of the greatest guitarists ever

[mikehawk69]

[BlekiAzrael]

@BigishJim1 Uriah Heep underrated?

[t7mackie]

@JJames666male No!

[MaRaX93]

@jcdenton7 thats an egyptian tune,its not copyrighted by iron maiden or any other band...like the oriental tune

[JJames666male]

is there a better album in the world?

[NoHealerJustPain]

It sounds very like "Powerslave" of Iron Maiden.

[megaslaythraxica]

you can tell he says something between "fate guiding hideous hands" and "won't you show us your face". can anyone tell what he's saying? It almost sounds like "you wicked wretch" or something.
