Thrice - The Red Death Lyrics

Entertain the hope that somehow you'll escape me
Weld the bolts and close the iron gate
Drink deeply the illusion of your safety
My! How wishful thoughts inebriate

Masquerade and revel in your opulence
Writhe unfettered by your stabs at ignorance
Swim through hues and whispered tones of heresy
Dozen strokes to run your blood cold enough to believe
Remember me?

You look so surprised to see me here
With Hell's black wings did I over perch these walls?
For stony limits cannot hold me out
And now you all die

  this song ROCKS!!! I not kidding, it rocks
  
  But this song is basically about that stupid story they made us read in highschool called Masque of the Red Death, thus the creative name. the people were closed off from their town in hopes of avoiding the desease that was killing the towns people. the richies had a party and Death found them regardless of the wall they build to seclude themselves. yeah.
