Ball Of The Damned - Scanner

They had come far from

Been invited to Lord Barker’s Ball

Not aware they would celebrate their fall

On the first day red wined flowed their bellies

Hundred feet stepped and danced

Echoes of laughter were streaming through dark vaults

Barker’s eyes showed their glance

Day two was the day of mysterious games

Each winner got blood painted plates

Added like puzzles — disclosing their sense

The picture was showing their fate

They stood and stared

Paralyzed

Doors were locked

Smoke invading

Welcome to the festival

The ball of no return

Inhale the smoke

Abandoned they sucked virgins — blood

Abandoned they danced demons — rock

Hysteria was ruling, mercy not lent

Ball of the damned

Day three was the day of unbearable silence

Barker prepared the last act

Survivors were led to the chamber of violence

The basin of death had been stacked

They stood and stared

Paralyzed

Doors were locked

Smoke invading

Welcome to the festival

The ball of no return

Inhale the smoke

Abandoned they sucked virgins — blood

Abandoned they danced demons — rock

Hysteria was ruling, mercy not lent

Ball of the damned

Dipped into the mass

Gilded pain on their faces of death

They’d become figures on a board of chess

Welcome to the festival

The ball of no return

Inhale the smoke

Abandoned they sucked virgins — blood

Abandoned they danced demons — rock

Hysteria was ruling, mercy not lent

Ball of the damned
