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 saftey.
my how wishful thoughts inebriate. masquerade,
and revel in your opulence.
writhe unfettered by your stabs...

    Very easy. It's about Edgar Allen Poe's book The Masque of the Red Death. However he may be mirroring the song to someone out there by using the imagry of the Red Death. How he says "Drink deeply the illusion of your safety" and "You look so suprised to see me here. With hell's wings did I overpreach these walls. And now you all die!"
