aurelio voltaire - the masquerade lyrics
every day the masquerade
is sending out the call
every day that night brigade
came crashing through that door
they said “what are you doing siting all alone
just staring at the telephone?
there’s a place we know
where you can go and join in the parade”
and i said “i’m just sitting here l!cking my wounds
and i don’t think i’ll be finished soon
where can i find a place to hide from this mess i made?”
at the masquerade
you’ll be glad you came
they won’t see the holes
that are in your soul
when you cover up your face
at the masquerade
it’s gonna be okay
trade your shame for wealth and fame
where no one knows your name
blast then break through
they dragged me to this zoo
put your mask on: that’s the key
which animal is right for me?
so i burst through the pearly gates and
i was alarmed by what awaited
they greeted me with open arms like i was one of them
and i felt right away that they let me in
absolved me of my prior sins
so i shed this wretched skin at last
and i became the mask
at the masquerade
you’ll be glad you came
they won’t see the holes
that are in your soul
when you cover up your face
at the masquerade
it’s gonna be okay
trade your shame for wealth and fame
where no one knows your name
it’s a chance to leave it all behind
start again begin a brand new life
they were right that i wouldn’t hate it
to think that i hesitated
i finally checked my checkered past
and i’m not going back
at the masquerade
you’ll be glad you came
they won’t see the holes
that are in your soul
when you cover up your face
at the masquerade
it’s gonna be okay
trade your shame for wealth and fame
where no one knows your name
come along don’t you feel the masquerade
step in – don’t be afraid
take your pain and your deepest shame
and let them go at the masquerade
grab a mask and cover up your face
wrap yourself in a silk brocade
just forget the mistakes you made
cause no one cares at the masquerade
