Call Caedmon`s Masquerade Lyrics

Masquerade Lyrics

On an open stretch of freeway 

 Underneath the canvas clouds 

 The blackness after evening 

 Swallowed everything around 

 But just up head on the open horizon 

 We caught the faintest glow 

 And as we drew near 

 it seemed so clear that the dark would have to go 

  

 In the center of the city 

 Comes the illusion of the day 

 When everything looks pretty 

 It's easy to think you've found the way 

 But it's all just a big masquerade 

  

 It was thirty-six months earlier 

 On that same ol d lonesome road 

 And that same old darkness lingered 

 Just before the lightning show 

 And the thunder cracked down 

 And His lightning conquered everything around 

 That dark had to flee 

 Now the light of the little town 

 Was as dark as the night compared to the light
