lyrics

Drapery
Dressed halls of black
Parade of sorrow
Through brimstone streets

The black gala is near

Burning bright
Violet candles of ritual
Into the castle
The sarcophagus goes

The black gala is here

The mourners have gathered for their dead
Weeping in rows upon the cobblestone
Crying tears a darker shade of red
O’er the halls that have become her hobbled home

Walls alight with indigo flames
A somber mood within this fortress
Grey clouds resting overhead
Cover the dead Princess in her morbid dress

We are gathered here today
To say goodbye to a villainous tyrant
We deliver her body to decay
May the goddess judge her violence

Suffering a thousand cosmic lashes
Into eternity her effigies rust
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
