Blood red light
Black velvet hung about
An ebony clock ticking away the hours
Tick
Tick
Tick
There is Safety inside
There is Death out
But all is not as it seems
What will happen?
Bong Bang Clang
The clock strikes seven
The partiers hold their breaths
The band stops mid-crescendo

The clock ceases
The party goes on
Dance Spin Twirl
The party continues
Oblivious to the terror and chaos outside of their walls
Ding Dong Clang

A threat amongst the revel

The Red Death Here in this final room of death

Dropping like flies the revelers attempt to flee

All in vain They are gone from this life

The Red Death will find you
