Masquerade!
Paper faces on parade . . .
Masquerade!
Hide your face,
so the world will
never find you!
Masquerade!
Every face a different shade . . .
Masquerade!
Look around -there's another
mask behind you!
Flash of mauve . . .
Splash of puce . . .
Fool and king . . .
Ghoul and goose . . .
Green and black . . .
Queen and priest . . .
Trace of rouge . . .
Face of beast . . .
Faces . . .
Take your turn,
take a ride
on the merry-go-round . . .
in an inhuman race . . .
Eye of gold . . .
Thigh of blue . . .
is false . . .
Who is who . . .?
Curl of lip . . .
Swirl of gown . . .
Ace of hearts . . .
Face of clown . . .
Faces . . .
Drink it in,
drink it up,
till you've drowned
in the light . . .
in the sound . . .
But who can name the face . . .?
Masquerade!
Grinning yellows,
spinning reds . . .
Masquerade!
Take your fill -let the spectacle
astound you!
Masquerade!
Burning glances,
turning heads . . .
Masquerade!
Stop and stare
at the sea of smiles
around you!
Masquerade!
Seething shadows
breathing lies . . .
Masquerade!You can fool
any friend whoever knew you!
Masquerade!Leering satyrs,
peering eyes . . .
Masquerade!
Run and hide -but a face will
still pursue you!
Fanciful words, Hidden meanings, Deceitful intentions. All plotted, In the Devil's hand.
