Lyrics

[Intro]

Towers of velvet and stone

Locked doors

Laughter and gold

Seven rooms

Seven brave lies

While the world outside grows cold

[Verse 1]

Clock in the corner keeps coughing

Each chime a cut in the air

Princes are dancing in circles

Pretending they never get scared

Wine on their lips like a promise

Masks on their fear-burning eyes

Buying one more borrowed heartbeat

Like money could muffle the skies

[Chorus]

You can’t outdance the Masque of the Red Death

You can’t outbid the frost in your breath

Run through your halls of glass and flame

Every man

Every crown

Same grave

Same name

You can’t outsing the silence that waits

You can’t outride the closing of gates

Blood on the clock

Last grain of sand

When the Red Death takes your hand

[Verse 2]

Silk on the floor

Bodies spinning

Shadows grow longer than light

Whispers of smoke through the pillars

A stranger steps out of the night

Robes like a wound in the candleglow

Eyes like the end of the road

No one invited this visitor

Yet every one here is owed

[Chorus]

You can’t outdance the Masque of the Red Death

You can’t outbid the frost in your breath

Run through your halls of glass and flame

Every man

Every crown

Same grave

Same name

You can’t outsing the silence that waits

You can’t outride the closing of gates

Blood on the clock

Last grain of sand

When the Red Death takes your hand

[Bridge]

[Violin and acoustic guitar break

Then full band crashes in]

Tear off your jewels

They’re rust in the rain (hey!)

Tear off your titles

They fall just the same

Castle or gutter

It’s one narrow door

How many lives till you see what it’s for?

[Chorus]

You can’t outdance the Masque of the Red Death

You can’t outbid the frost in your breath

Run through your halls of glass and flame

Every man

Every crown

Same grave

Same name

You can’t outsing the silence that waits

You can’t outride the closing of gates

Blood on the clock

Last grain of sand

When the Red Death takes your hand

[Outro]

Clock strikes

Candles drown

Dead hush

Falling crown

Rich

Poor

All the rest

Same dust

In the Red Death’s breast
