[Pre-Chorus]
The clock has struck the final hour,
No charm remains, no borrowed power.

[Chorus]
The vampire's ball is ending now,
The feast is cold, the crown is rust,
The dancers bow their heads somehow,
As kingdoms crumble into dust.
The moon bears witness from above,
To every oath and every lie,
The vampire's ball is ending now,
And no one leaves the night alive.

[Verse 2]
The mirrors wake and tell the truth,
The portraits whisper every name,
The halls remember stolen years,
The hidden deals, the secret shame.
The wolves are gathered at the gate,
The ravens circle overhead,
A judgment rides upon the wind,
To count the living and the dead.

[Pre-Chorus]
The final ledger opens wide,
There's nowhere left to run and hide.

[Bridge]
Hear the thunder, hear the call,
The cracks are spreading through the wall,
Every tower built on greed,
Will answer for its poisoned seed.
The masquerade has reached its end,
No silver tongue, no faithful friend,
The dawn approaches, fierce and bright,
To drag the secrets into light.

[Final Chorus]
The vampire's ball is ending now,
The orchestra has lost its song,
The shadows tremble at the dawn,
For they have ruled the dark too long.
The gates are opening at last,
The reckoning rides with the sky,
The vampire's ball is ending now,
And morning's fire is drawing nigh.

[Outro]
The chandeliers have all gone dark,
The ballroom fades, the echoes die,
The vampire's ball is ending now...
Beneath the unforgiving sky.

[Verse 1] The candles burn down to their bones, The velvet curtains start to fall, The lords of shadow leave their thrones, As silence echoes through the hall. Gold and silver line the floor, Masks are scattered where they lie, The laughter that once shook the walls Now fades beneath a crimson sky. [Pre-Chorus] The clock has struck the final hour, No charm remains, no borrowed power. [Chorus] The vampire's ball is ending now, The feast is cold, the crown is rust, The dancers bow their heads somehow, As kingdoms crumble into dust. The moon bears witness from above, To every oath and every lie, The vampire's ball is ending now, And no one leaves the night alive. [Verse 2] The mirrors wake and tell the truth, The portraits whisper every name, The halls remember stolen years, The hidden deals, the secret shame. The wolves are gathered at the gate, The ravens circle overhead, A judgment rides upon the wind, To count the living and the dead. [Pre-Chorus] The final ledger opens wide, There's nowhere left to run and hide. [Chorus] The vampire's ball is ending now, The feast is cold, the crown is rust, The dancers bow their heads somehow, As kingdoms crumble into dust. The moon bears witness from above, To every oath and every lie, The vampire's ball is ending now, And no one leaves the night alive. [Bridge] Hear the thunder, hear the call, The cracks are spreading through the wall, Every tower built on greed, Will answer for its poisoned seed.
