Beneath the Mask Lyrics

Red Death: Prospero. You command me to wait? Very well. I wait.

Prospero: Condotti? Rimini? Who are you beneath your mask?

Red Death: Is my costume such a disguise that you don't recognize me?

Prospero: Your voice is familiar. Dr. Bernelli, that's who you are. Bernelli, you dog, thinking to... You are not Bernelli.

Red Death: No. The doctor dances in the white room. But I passed close by him. Truly, Prospero, you don't know me?

Prospero: So you've come.

Red Death: Yes, Prospero.

Prospero: [To Francesca] On your knees.

Francesca: Prospero!

Prospero: [To Francesca] On your knees. [To Red Death] The Prince of Darkness. I would like to see your face.

Red Death: There is no face of death until the moment of your own death. And I am only one of many messengers.

Prospero: Who do you come for?

Red Death: Many.

Prospero: All?

Red Death: Not all.

Prospero: I knew I was right. I knew it. I've won.

Red Death: The time of unmasking. They begin to show their naked faces.
