Dimmu Borgir

The Night Masquerade

A scarlet sunset
the threshold to nightplay
A sinful oath is to be sworn
A beckoning bloodlust
among the seekers
Tyrranic 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

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 recieve 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 recieve
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!"
