(Verse 1) Velvet night, the city sighs Underneath those haunted skies Glitter heels and silver lies We dance until the truth disguises Candle lights flicker, heartbeat’s slicker Eyes meet quick, then fade in liquor You talk sweet but I feel thicker The air’s a spell, it grows slicker (Pre-Chorus) Shadow play, I lose my name Whisper my sin, feed my flame One touch, and it’s all the same We’re ghosts that love the masquerade (Chorus) Masquerade in the moonlight We move between the wrong and right Lost souls with a fevered sight Keep spinning till we burn tonight (Instrumental / Piano & Bass Solo – 20 sec) (Verse 2 – Rap) Yeah, I walk through smoke, no halo glow My rhythm’s heavy like a shadow flow Silk dress drippin’, midnight gold The story’s new but the blood runs old Talk that talk, but your mask is fake I taste your truth when the mirrors break No love, just game and chase I’m the beat that you can’t replace (Bridge) One more round, no time to pray Lights dim low, the demons stay We laugh, we sin, we fade away And still I crave this cabaret (Chorus – Final) Masquerade in the moonlight Truth and danger intertwined Play me once, I’ll play you twice Till dawn we dance, no alibi (Outro – Spoken / Whispered) Under the mask, I see your face Under the beat, I lose my grace In the moonlight’s cruel embrace We vanish… with no trace.
