Masquerade!
Masquerade!
Our lives are too much like flames
Masquerade!
Blown away by wind that won’t recall names
Masquerade!
Put on your impassive face
Masquerade!
No one cares on these monotonous days
Flash of death
Trace of greed
Love and hate
Want and need
Tear and sneer
Have and lack
Grit and scowl
Red and black
Faces
Take a breath, step a foot
On this endless road
In a macabre race
Eye of smoke
Lying true
See pretend
Crashing through
Curl of ash
Swirl of mud
Heart of stone
Reign of blood
Faces
Take it in, take it all
Til you’ve drowned
In the pain
Vertigo
But who can say it’s without grace?
Masquerade!
Assassin in the crowd
Masquerade!
Someone stop this clandestine cloud
Masquerade!
Killing, slaying , massacres
Masquerade!
Watch that body rot in that black hearse
Masquerade!
Stopping breaths and hearing cries
Masquerade!
Run away in your put-on disguise
Masquerade!
Your sins are taking their toll
Masquerade!
It won’t be long ‘til you take that bottomless fall
Masquerade!
Seeing demons in this kiss
Masquerade!
Stare now into your own abyss!
Our lives are too much like flames
Masquerade!
Blown away by wind that won’t recall names
Masquerade!
Put on your impassive face
Masquerade!
No one cares on these monotonous days
Flash of death
Trace of greed
Love and hate
Want and need
Tear and sneer
Have and lack
Grit and scowl
Red and black
Faces
Take a breath, step a foot

In a macabre race
