This one is a tribute to Edgar Allen Poe's "The Masque of the Red Death"



Is this more than we've ever known?
Soon the sky will surely glow,
A darker shade of red.
Deepest silence in the night,
The time has come for us to fight,
For our lives until we're dead.

A stranger lurks nearby the door,
We stare but nothing more,
Hidden by our masks.
A gunshot screams into the night,
Dead the all we lie,
Ending our last task.
