Dimmu Borgir - The night masquerade Lyrics

A scarlet sunset 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:)
"Rise and give praise in front of Me
and receive eternal life from Me!
Welcome my spirit in honor 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!"
