The Illusion of Safety album cover

Thrice – The Red Death Lyrics

Rock

Entertain the hope that somehow you'll escape me
Weld the bolts and close the iron gate
Drink deeply THE ILLUSION OF YOUR SAFETY,
My how wishful thoughts inebriate,

Masquerade and revel in your opulence.
Writhe unfettered by your stabs at ignorance.
Swim through hues and whispered tones of heresy,
A dozen strokes to run your blood cold enough to believe
Remember me?

(Solo)

You look so surprised to see me here,
With hells black wings did i overperch these walls,
For stony limits cannot hold me out,
And now
You
All
DIE

    this song ROCKS!!! I not kidding, it rocks But this song is basically about that stupid story they made us read in highschool called Masque of the Red Death, thus the creative name. the people were closed off from their town in hopes of avoiding the desease that was killing the towns people. the richies had a party and Death found them regardless of the wall they build to seclude themselves. yeah.
