Lyrics

THE RED DEATH

We left our town to hide in here;
The Red Death was nearing.
Walled ourselves in to shut out fear,
Keep it from appearing.

Sometimes you have to fight
To escape the coming night.
Sometimes you have to flee
To touch Eternity.
You always have to pray
To turn evil away.

That was one year ago today;
It goes without saying -
There’s no time left for fun and games,
No hide-and-seek playing.

Sometimes you have to fight
To escape the coming night.
Sometimes you have to flee
To touch Eternity.
You always have to pray
To turn evil away.

The castle walls are closing in,
Everything seems to be spinning.
There’s nothing left for us to win;
The end is beginning.

Sometimes you have to fight
To escape the coming night.
Sometimes you have to flee
To touch Eternity.
You always have to pray
To turn evil away.

I pray that you might find this tune
Among what we were ruining.
You’d better start singing soon -
Before the next pruning.

Sometimes you have to fight
To escape the coming night.
Sometimes you have to flee
To touch Eternity.
You always have to pray
To turn evil away.
