The Masquerade

Intro

Ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah-ah

Verse 1

Wear your mask and take my hand

Dance with me in a dreamer's land

Chandeliers burn in a thousand eyes

Truth wears the finest of disguises

Pre-Chorus

Turn, turn, turn the music higher

Feed the flames of our desire

Chorus

It's the masquerade, the masquerade

Where kings and fools are all the same

Dance until the colours fade

Nobody here will know your name

It's the masquerade, the masquerade

Break the mirror, lose the game

Tonight we live, tonight we play

In the crown of a beautiful shame

Verse 2

Whispers hide behind the silk

Laughter sweet as poisoned milk

Spin around till the clock strikes none

Who will they be when the night is done?

Pre-Chorus

Turn, turn, turn the music higher

Feed the flames of our desire

Chorus

It's the masquerade, the masquerade

Where kings and fools are all the same

Dance until the colours fade

Nobody here will know your name

It's the masquerade, the masquerade

Break the mirror, lose the game

Tonight we live, tonight we play

In the crown of a beautiful shame

Guitar Solo

Bridge

Mother of the moonlight, hear me now

I was born to wear the crown and bow

Lightning in my chest and silver in my veins

I will dance until the dawn remains

Let the curtain fall, let the curtain fall

Final Chorus

It's the masquerade, the masquerade

Where kings and fools are all the same

Dance until the colours fade

Nobody here will know your name

It's the masquerade, the masquerade

Break the mirror, lose the game

Tonight we live, tonight we play

In the crown of a beautiful shame
