Dimmu Borgir - The Night Masquerade lyrics

A scarlet sunset

The threshold to nightplay

A sinful oath is to be sworn

A beckoning bloodlust

Among the seekers

Tyrannic hunger yearns

A gathering in flames and fires

Devil's daughters dance

Scourged in filth obscene and lewd

Longing for dark desires

The nocturnal beast appears

In an evil despotic shape

Expectant watching gracelessly

Before demanding the sluts of lust

[the Beast:]

"Come forth harlots, let's begin!"

[the Beast approaches:]

"Rise and give praise in front of Me

And receive eternal life from Me!

Welcome my spirit in honour of Me!

So drink of the blood I provide you

And you shall all forever wander in

The shadows of death...!

[the chanting whores:]

"Oh yes, Master! Let us receive

Thine offer and drink with thee!

And become a part of Thy realm

With lust, sex and sodomy

For we are those who seek life eternally...!

[the Beast:]

"Blood is life and it shall be all ours!"
