Hear what happened once
That night they met for a dance
Celebrated, laughed, drank, talked
He saw her standing there
Asked for her hand
And so it happened
[Chorus:]
It was an enticingly white face
Black was the coat, place of execution,
Nobody knows, nobody saw
Who was the murderer
Black was the coat, black was the hair
Without words she blindly fell for him
Because the beat of the music felt secure and warm
She fell for him and lay in his arms
[Chorus]
Suddenly the music stopped
A scream came out of nowhere, she fell down
They came running, saw her lying in her own blood
They found a mask in her hair
