Masquerade-act 1 Lyrics

Masquerade-act 1 lyrics

In which a mask is applied not only shielding the ugliness.







The loneliness weaving wonders



Left me alone as daydawn came.



The birdcry's timbre seemed like thunder



- to spit on me - it was the lark.







And on these daybreaks of my life



Kept closed my eyes for seconds more.



When dreams freeflow the bending mind



Of all the grief and fear be gone.







And on these daybreaks of your life



Just close your eyes and live within



Oh let them flow and bend your mind



Try to believe the fear is gone.







Start piercing me you wicked ghosts!



Your voices sneak from red-rubbed lips!



Those tangling whispers - want to soothe me,



But start what I've never dared to speak of.







As slowly as I dropped the cape



- the slumber sweet as velvet fell -



I saw the smiling face of a day



that blew away my ease at once.







Not love not happiness I dreamed of



No hope for this so rotten live?



How can I tame? How can I hide



This twisted me I cannot fight?







Not love not happieness you dreamed of



Lose hope for your so rotten live.



You cannot tame, just try to hide



It's you - It's me - you try to hide!







Start piercing me you wicked ghosts!



Your voices sneak from red-rubbed lips!



Those tangling whispers - want to sooth me,



But start what I've never dared to speak of.







"Goodbye to Eric" I heard my screams



And hoped that echos would reload in me



And strengthen me for this inhumanizing task



I got up and applied a mask of velvet black



- square as the one it hosts.







"Goodbye to Eric the human-faced -



Shall he be known through the mask he wears".



"Shall fear be forever repelled by the ways,



We'll walk; and we'll melt into the face,



Of all bodies and ever for all I'll become:



be gone now Eric - be gone - be gone".
