Masquerade - Terrateya

Masquerade Lyrics

Thousand shadows
Chase the light
See the darkness
Vanish and consumePut on your empty faces
See the cobwebs shimmer
Diamonds catch the moonlight
As ivory takes lifeTired bones shake off their sleep
Silence melts away
A thousand grinning faces
Don their gleaming masksDreaming of a distant past, as they weave through the dust
And they dance this final masquerade
Listen to the eerie strains, its a symphony of gloom
As they live this final masquerade
Dreaming of a distant past, as they weave through the dust
(And their masks gleam bones a pearly white)
And they dance this final masquerade
Listen to the eerie strains, its a symphony of gloom
(They glide and turn they spin and twist)

As they live this final masqueradeAnd they dance through flickring candles
Clothed in robes of crimson deep
Friends and foes now all are equal
Their eyes gleam with pure delightDreaming of a distant past, as they weave through the dust
And they dance this final masquerade
Listen to the eerie strains, its a symphony of gloom
As they live this final masquerade
Dreaming of a distant past, as they weave through the dust
(And their masks gleam bones a pearly white)
And they dance this final masquerade
Listen to the eerie strains, its a symphony of gloom
(They glide and turn they spin and twist)
As they live this final masqueradeYet slowly they falter their footsteps dragging in the dust
The music it winds down becomes a tearing screeching moan
Their splendour and finery fades back to rags and crumbling bones
And finally so slowly they drift into an endless sleepDreaming of a distant past, as they weave through the dust
And they dance this final masquerade
Listen to the eerie strains, its a symphony of gloom
As they live this final masquerade
Dreaming of a distant past, as they weave through the dust
(And their masks gleam bones a pearly white)
And they dance this final masquerade
Listen to the eerie strains, its a symphony of gloom
(They glide and turn they spin and twist)As they live this final masquerade
(So they dance their waltz of death)
