lyrics

All the people drowning their cares away
with their wine, for a while in tonight's soiree
with the jesters dressed up in their silly charades
and all their lives shrouded in masquerades
Familiar faces slowly turning into strangers
I recall their names but no longer their faces
And the chandeliers illuminating the dance hall
never quite brightened anything at all.
Cause all the drinks that we take that help us escape ourselves
have only ostracized us to everyone else
So if you find yourself suffocated by your own shame
then swallow the shards of your glass of wine and put on your masquerades

In the name of the king, all the jesters singing

(Ahhhhs) X2

Your presence is a bliss that I felt across the room
and only yours that I felt to be true

Chorus:
Come away, come away, come away, oh come away.
come away from your masquerade

the moonlight grants us a sudden glimpse upon our eyes
and to my surprise beneath this storm of disguise.

(chorus)

Undress the burden you are wearing on your head
So that I can see your face instead.

(chorus)

(Guitar solo)

Without a word we agreed to escape this place
but with the scent of desire we were leaving about its trace.
to satin mannequins standing in aisles of gold
surrounded by all the coats they refused to hold.
As we reached for the door there were greetings we chose to ignore
and soon enough we found we could escape no more
And the orchestra puppeteering the dance hall
suddenly decided to change the song
Because the festive folks have formed a swarming crowd
they pulled our arms away as they sang out loud
we couldn't bid farewell as they took us away
All I can recall was that they grabbed our necks and put back our masquerades

and I cursed at the king, as I was screaming

(ahhhhhhs) x2
