I was fool enough To play your twisted game Yet the odds were clear Not a single chance Shame on me Here I am again I was fool enough To play your fucked-up game All these made-up lies For a pretty face Shame on me Here I am again Was this real all along Maybe just out of my mind Was this just for the fuck Or am I out of touch Trust me, I don’t even care 'Cause today, I'm breaking this wall Blinded, Naïve Missing the signs Trapped in a cage, with a lion Trying to hunt me down Taking pleasure to see me crawl Trapped in a cage, with an animal Give it up now Oh, we both know how this is gonna end Give it up now Don’t even try to pretend Give it up now Oh, we both know how this is gonna end How this is gonna end Your turn Play me, deceive me again Well, not this time, honey No, I won’t fall for this Reveal the cards, expose the lies Time to release me from my ties I will watch you fall Babe, I’m taking back the crown Such a pity, who would have guessed it Your loyal pet ended up biting your hand What does it feel like Do you feel sad Your sweet perfume has the same bitter taste of betrayal Deeper and deeper You keep digging your own grave And too late, oh so late You know there’s nothing left to save Get back on your feet You’re so sad to look at Don’t make more promises They mean nothing to me You had all the time to fix the mess you made But you preferred to pour the salt into the wounds Let’s celebrate, I raise my glass to you After all these years, I learned my lesson Wearing a life jacket making harder to keep Your head above water Give it up now Oh, we both know how this is gonna end Give it up now Don’t even try to pretend Give it up now Oh, we both know how this is gonna end How this is gonna end Your turn Play me, deceive me again Well, not this time, honey No, I won’t fall for this Reveal the cards, expose the lies Time to release me from my ties I will watch you fall Babe, I’m taking back the crown I believe I believe You better Step the fuck back Play me, deceive me again Well, not this time, honey No, I won’t fall for this Reveal the cards, expose the lies Time to release me from my ties I will watch you fall Play me, deceive me Again, again, again Tell me you're sorry Again, again I am taking back the crown

Once upon a time, there was a lonely man Just one among many, roaming lost in the crowd He used to dream, he used to feel, such a distant memory Trapped in an open cage, enduring this reverie And he was a man, docile, focused to stay in line Today is yesterday, different but still the same He had a place to keep, don’t want it but needed it Couldn’t ignore the voice, constantly alluring him Boy, boy, let me in - I’ll be the ear, the friend, your savior Boy, boy, let me in - I’ll be your fuel, your blood, your gasoline Boy, boy, let me in - I’ll be your shield, your sword and I will guide your hand Boy, boy, let me in - Let me in There’s a wolf at your door Waiting in disguise Lock yourself up or he'll swallow you whole You can’t tame the wolf at your door Please don’t let him in Because once it's done, he will swallow you whole One day, this man gave a chance to the voice He started wondering and listening, ending up feeding him The jealousy, the lust, the envy and the hate Became his daily drugs, igniting the addiction Trouble, Hurt, Confusion, Sadness This never-ending fire taking pleasure in the pain Soon, his appetite became a slavery Couldn’t resist the beast, slowly taking over him Boy, boy, let me in - I’ll be the ear, the friend, your savior Boy, boy, let me in - I’ll be your fuel, your blood, your gasoline Boy, boy, let me in - I’ll be your shield, your sword and I will guide your hand Boy, boy, let me in - Let me in There’s a wolf at your door Waiting in disguise Lock yourself up or he'll swallow you whole You can’t tame the wolf at your door Please don’t let him in Because once it's done, he will swallow you whole Feed me Again, and again, and again, and again, and again Feed me Again, and again, and again, and again, and again There was a wolf at your door And you let him in There's a wolf in your home And there is no way back Watch him smile as he burns down the whole place You can’t stop the wolf in your home There’s no need to scream Now, it’s time for you to be devoured

They set the fire to the stone They even mastered the unknown This sad obsession for a crown The heavy price paid for the throne But now, there’s no place called "Home" Where do we failed, my brother? Feeling free to kill each other Irrational, anesthetized The eyes stuck on the prize Does the end always justify the means? Is there still a beating heart in this reckless machine? You play with lives like you'd roll a dice But everything comes at a price Hold on a second Your ivory tower won’t last much longer Can you feel a tremor? The higher you'll climb, the harder we'll all fall Captains of this sinking ship Can you even tell where does stand the limit? Soiling the ground, the water, the air Spreading chemicals like a cancer No hesitation, negotiation Consume the earth until there’s nothing left Are you this obsessed to see? You’re just cutting off the branch we're standing on Where do we failed, my sister? Feeling free to kill each other Irrational, anesthetized The eyes stuck on the prize Does the end always justify the means? Is there still a beating heart in this reckless machine? You play with lives like you'd roll a dice But everything comes at a price Hold on a second Your ivory tower won’t last much longer Can you feel a tremor? The higher you'll climb, the harder we'll all fall After centuries, driving blind Destroying the humankind Playing God, you masterminds Today You pay the price Tell me we’re not alone Tell me we’re not alone Tell me we’re not Tell me we’re not Tell me we’re not alone Hold on a second Your ivory tower won’t last much longer Can you feel a tremor? The higher you’ll climb

Masquerade 05:21
Put me aside Lead me astray Make me believe That this mirage is real All I see is an empty shell So obsessed by what you reflect Living in a world where the look of the fruit Worth more than its own taste Its grip is so tight You’re caught in the undertow This ocean will drag you down Is there a soul within? Or are you just a manikin? Show what lies beneath your skin Is there a soul within? Or are you just a manikin? Reveal - your true nature and... Burn all these perfect illusions What's the point after all? Embracing the man you're not Take off the mask from your face Erase these lies of paradise Time to bring an end to this Masquerade Terrified to stand out from the crowd You choose to stay behind this fucking red line Will you let this society corrupt your soul With its mold of normalcy? No mercy… Keep fighting, swimming against the waves It will swallow, it will swallow you whole Give it a try and don't be shy, you can't buy the lie Burn all these perfect illusions What's the point after all? Embracing the man you're not Take off the mask from your face Erase these lies of paradise Time to bring an end to this Masquerade You're scared, this I know, Exposing your imperfections to the world These are the details Defining your true self You don't have to hide The one sleeping inside In the end, you will found your way Through this Masquerade This Masquerade

All the light Devoured by the dark I can’t find a way-out (Hold your breath, never let it die) Is this the end that I finally see? (Hold your breath) And I feel the fate tricking me again (Come on, get up) And I feel the pain slowly spreading inside (It’s far from over) Look at me, don’t you see Everything is gone There’s no hope, you will fall Like the other ones I see, the doubt in your eyes Come on, boy, accept your defeat Watch your step, 'cause I could bite No, I won’t leave without a fight I’m not afraid, I’ll take my chance I’m prepared to dance Make me bleed, make me scream Well, go ahead and break me I’m not afraid, I’ll take my chance I’m prepared to dance Watch the Dawn of a New King In the dark A faint shimmer of light Is keeping me alive now (It’s stronger than you think) This little spark guides me through the night (Let it carry you) And I realize what I’m capable of (Fear what I’ve become) And I’m much stronger than I was before (Fear what I’ve become) Look at me, don’t you see Everything is gone There’s no hope, you will fall Like the other ones I see, the doubt in your eyes Come on, boy, accept your defeat Watch your step, 'cause I could bite No, I won’t leave without a fight I’m not afraid, I’ll take my chance I’m prepared to dance Make me bleed, make me scream Well, go ahead and break me I’m not afraid, I’ll take my chance I’m prepared to dance Watch the Dawn of a New King Watch me rise, watch me burn Nothing won’t ever keep me chained I finally found my way out Watch me rise, watch me burn, nothing won’t ever keep me chained Watch your step 'cause I could bite No, I won’t leave without a fight I’m not afraid, I’ll take my chance I’m prepared to dance (Feed me to the wolves) Make me bleed, make me scream Well, go ahead and break me I’m not afraid, I’ll take my chance I’m prepared to dance Watch the Dawn of a New King
