Welcome my dear please take my hand It's wonderful here it's really quite grand The moment still, await the hour The Masquerade for Time's dead flowers Dancing and reeling We move beneath shadows We've hung from the ceiling All memory receding Take leave of reason In step with the bleeding Chapter & Verse the lyric takes flight Red is the day as red is the night The hours pass, the years expire The dance goes on, we spin on fire Laughing and screaming A wide-awake nightmare Diseased and believing In mourning-deceiving Ever in motion and ever in grieving Welcome my dear please take my hand It's wonderful here it's really quite grand Shadows now descending To join in the Madness The song never-ending Wounds never mending Wretched in countenance The fear now transcending
