Tristesse (of Cardinals And Skeletons) Lyrics - Danse Macabre

Blood red skies like a messenger of doom 

Skeletons on parade in villages on fire 

Divine maidens suffering from the plague 

Apocalypse my friend put these cities into dust 

Dust on coffin lits 

Tales never told 

Citizens living in cages of glass 

Writing poetry in the fields of bretagne 

But hear the cries of a distant battle 

Cardinals in decay and Gods who failed everywhere 

Nero's fiddle distuned, Rome into flames 

With wings wide spread I wish to fly 

Like an eagle embracing the sky 

Dying during a final flight 

Oh deliver me from life 

Plundering savages drunk with bloodlust 

Knights in armour now long vanished 

Jesters holding the crown 

Noblesse fading away 

Noblesses fading 

Blood red skies like a messenger of doom 

Skeletons on parade in villages on fire 

Divine maidens suffering from the plague 

Apocalypse my friend put these cities into dust 

Dust on coffin lits 

Tales never told 

Citizens living in cages of glass 

Writing poetry in the fields of Bretagne 

But hear the cries of a distant battle 

Cardinals in decay 

Gods who failed everywhere 

Gods who failed... 

TRISTESSE!
