TRANSCRIPT

Two by two the guests arrived,
Leaving their morals and inhibitions behind.
They all wore masks to hide their face,
And be inhuman in this unholy place.

Bells rang out to signal the hour,
When everyone present who wore a flower.
Would crawl on all fours and bay at the moon,
The time to dine was very soon.

The pack began to circle the guests,
Everyone trapped in the Devil's nest.
The smell of fear was all around.
No one dared to make a sound.

And when the bells did stop their peel.
The wolves were ready for their meal.

The Masquerade is a place of released inhibitions, joy, dance, and anonymity. There is truth to the idea that dancing like no one is watching is more fun.
