Danse Macabre - Tristesse (Of Cardinals And Skeletons) lyrics

Blood red skies like a messenger of doom

Skeletons on parade in villages on fire

Divine maidens suffering from the plague

Apocalypse my friend put these cities into dust

Dust on coffin lits

Tales never told

Citizens living in cages of glass

Writing poetry in the fields of bretagne

But hear the cries of a distant battle

Cardinals in decay and Gods who failed everywhere

Nero's fiddle distuned, Rome into flames

With wings wide spread I wish to fly

Like an eagle embracing the sky

Dying during a final flight

Oh deliver me from life

Plundering savages drunk with bloodlust

Knights in armour now long vanished

Jesters holding the crown

Noblesse fading away

Noblesses fading

Blood red skies like a messenger of doom

Skeletons on parade in villages on fire

Divine maidens suffering from the plague

Apocalypse my friend put these cities into dust

Dust on coffin lits

Tales never told

Citizens living in cages of glass

Writing poetry in the fields of Bretagne

But hear the cries of a distant battle

Cardinals in decay

Gods who failed everywhere

Gods who failed...

TRISTESSE!
