Текст песни: Masquerade + перевод

Thousand shadows

Chase the light

See the darkness

Vanish and consume

Put on your empty faces

See the cobwebs shimmer

Diamonds catch the moonlight

As ivory takes life

Tired bones shake off their sleep

Silence melts away

A thousand grinning faces

Don their gleaming masks

Dreaming of a distant past, as they weave through the dust

And they dance this final masquerade

Listen to the eerie strains, it’s 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, it’s a symphony of gloom

(They glide and turn — they spin and twist)

As they live this final masquerade

And they dance through flick’ring candles

Clothed in robes of crimson deep

Friends and foes — now all are equal

Their eyes gleam with pure delight

Dreaming of a distant past, as they weave through the dust

And they dance this final masquerade

Listen to the eerie strains, it’s 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, it’s a symphony of gloom

(They glide and turn — they spin and twist)

As they live this final masquerade

Yet 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 sleep

Dreaming of a distant past, as they weave through the dust

And they dance this final masquerade

Listen to the eerie strains, it’s 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, it’s 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)
