[Verse 1] Under the silver glow of the moon’s soft light, Shadows waltz in the halls of this ancient site. Masks of velvet and lace conceal every face, In this masquerade where secrets embrace. [Pre-Chorus] Whispers in the dark, Laughter in the light, In this moonlit masquerade, Nothing’s right tonight. [Chorus] Behind the masks, (The shadows sway), In this dance... (Of night and day). Behind the masks, (The shadows sway), In this dance... (Of night and day.) [Interlude] [Verse 2] A stranger’s gaze from across the grand hall, Eyes like embers, they beckon and call. A hand extended, a silent decree, To join the dance, to set spirits free. [Pre-Chorus] Whispers in the dark, Laughter in the light, In this moonlit masquerade, Nothing’s right tonight. [Chorus] Behind the masks, (The shadows sway), In this dance... (Of night and day). Behind the masks, (The shadows sway), In this dance... (Of night and day.) [Bridge] But as the clock... Strikes midnight’s chime, The masks begin... To lose their prime. [Solo] [Pre-Chorus] Whispers in the dark, Laughter in the light, In this moonlit masquerade, Nothing’s right tonight. [Chorus] Behind the masks, (The shadows sway), In this dance... (Of night and day). Behind the masks, (The shadows sway), In this dance... (Of night and day.) [Outro] But as the clock... Strikes midnight’s chime, The masks begin... To lose their prime. Faces shift, And truths are told, In this masquerade, The night grows cold.
