Thousand the light See the Vanish and
Put on empty faces See the cobwebs Diamonds catch the As ivory life
Tired bones shake off their Silence melts A thousand grinning Don their masks
of a distant past, as they weave through the dust And they this final masquerade Listen to the eerie strains, its a symphony of As live this final masquerade Dreaming of a distant past, as weave through the dust (And their masks gleam a pearly white) And they dance final masquerade Listen to the eerie strains, its a of gloom (They and turn they spin and twist) As they live this final
And they dance through flickring Clothed in robes of deep Friends and foes now all are Their eyes with pure delight
Dreaming of a distant past, as they weave through the And dance this final masquerade to the eerie strains, its a symphony of gloom As they this final masquerade Dreaming of a distant past, as they weave the dust (And their gleam bones a pearly white) And they this final masquerade to the eerie strains, its a symphony of gloom (They glide and they spin and twist) As they live final masquerade
Yet slowly they falter footsteps dragging in the dust The music it down becomes a tearing screeching moan Their splendour and finery fades to rags and crumbling bones And finally so slowly drift into an endless sleep
Dreaming of a past, as they weave through the dust And they dance this masquerade Listen to the eerie strains, its a of gloom As they live this masquerade Dreaming of a distant past, as weave through the dust (And their masks gleam a pearly white) And they dance final masquerade Listen to the strains, its a symphony of gloom (They glide and turn they and twist)
As they live this final (So they dance waltz of death)
