Welcome to the Masquerade - Memoira

I burn this bridge behind me

I will never walk that road again

I will never breathe the open air

Something evil is born this way

Shadows crawl and the light keeps fading away

And somewhere in the silence

I’m offered a crown of thorns

Which once plagued our mankind

Now simply disguised in different forms

It feels like we’ve been forsaken

It feels like paradise lost again

How can we be held responsible

Why are we alone

How can my soul be on sale

Close your eyes, inhale

Enjoy this charade

Welcome to the masquerade

Even if the words are silent

Our acts speak volumes for themselves

They are written on every single wall

Of this wasteland

And somewhere in the silence

I’m offered a crown of thorns

Which once plagued our mankind

Now simply disguised in different forms

It feels like we’ve been forsaken

How can we be held responsible

Why are we alone

Make your peace with your god

And walk away

Enjoy this charade

Become one with the masquerade
