Masquerade

Tie my hands, for you’ve bound my heart
Take this child into your arms
See the trust in her eyes
Hear the truth in her words
She fights the ghosts to see our future

There’s a place somewhere we can run, to escape reality
These tangled chains break free
There’ll be a time when this chagrin will fade
Liberated, from this masquerade

You’re not alone for her spirit watches you
Through the scarlet hours she’ll never turn away
Don’t try to save her, for her will is free
If you ask her she will lay here for eternity

There’s a place somewhere we can run, to escape reality
These tangled chains break free
There’ll be a time when this chagrin will fade
Liberated, from this masquerade

So at the zero hour will you vanish with me
Eclipse the veil, cheat decay to be free
I suffered, i downed, tied in twisted lies
Now this mask will shelter,
Until emotion dies

Released and confused
Sacrificed faith to be refused
She will ever blame the innocent, within
Fragile hope she allowed him steal
Disillusioned scars remain where wounds heal
The spectre of truth rose, and banished chance…
Banished chance away

There’s a place somewhere we can run to escape reality
These tangled chains break free
There’ll be a time when this chagrin will fade
Liberated, from this masquerade
