Curtains Up!

[Intro] "Ladies and gentlemen, honored guests, and unsuspecting fools…" A bow, a flourish—oh, don’t look so surprised! You came for a story, a spectacle, a show, And lucky you, I’m running the whole production! Now, shall we begin? [Verse] Step right up, take a seat, watch closely now A grand illusion’s underway—don’t blink, don’t frown A voice familiar, a face you trust— But tell me, who was I just moments ago? Cards in my hand, masks in a row A gentle lie, a clever show You think you see me, but that’s just a trick The moment you’re certain—I vanish quick! [Pre-Chorus] You think you know the script? (Tsk, tsk!) You think you’ve seen the clues? (Try again!) A perfect mask, a flawless act The truth? You’ll never have that. [Chorus] Curtains up! The show’s begun! A perfect tale—oh, what fun! Step too close, now you’re part of the play Try to guess how it ends—no way! Spotlight’s bright, the dice are rolled A game of fate—watch it unfold No rewrites, no second takes— But tell me, dear, what move will you make? [Verse – Disguises & Deception] A voice like hers, a whisper so sweet A careful step, a trick to repeat A well-placed clue, a missing piece I play the part—who do you see? I shift, I change, a shadow, a trace No names, no past, just a borrowed face Friend or foe? A smile, a bow Was I even real till now? [Pre-Chorus] You think you know the script? (Tsk, tsk!) You think you’ve seen the clues? (Try again!) A perfect mask, a flawless act The truth? You’ll never have that. [Chorus – BIGGER, GRANDER!] Curtains up! The show’s begun! A perfect tale—oh, what fun! Step too close, now you’re part of the play Try to guess how it ends—no way! Spotlight’s bright, the dice are rolled A game of fate—watch it unfold No rewrites, no second takes— But tell me, dear, what move will you make? [Bridge – The Masked Fools Take the Stage] A twist! A turn! A sudden reveal! Oh, the suspense! Oh, the thrill! What’s real? What’s false? A gamble, a bet! Shall we raise the stakes? Place your bets! Aha laughs, the crowd is wild Chaos reigns, the fools run wild No sense, no rhyme—just revelry! Come now, join the madness with me! [Final Chorus – Grand Finale!] Curtains up! The show’s been spun! Applause erupts—the stage is won! A single bow, a knowing glance A fleeting trick, a final chance Spotlight dims, the dice have rolled The ending’s set—the truth unfolds No rewrites, no second takes— But tell me, dear… was it all fake? [Outro – Curtain Call] Oh, what a performance! …What’s that? You want an encore? Haha… well, darling, that depends. Did you even catch the first act?
