Masquerade Waltz

[Verse]
Through gilded halls and candlelight haze
The masks they whisper in secretive plays
A step
A turn
A shadowed glance
This masquerade
A ghostly dance

[Prechorus]
Laughter lilts like a haunting song
The night is short but the waltz is long

[Chorus]
Round and round
The masquerade spins
Hiding faces
Concealing sins
Who are you
Who am I
In this charade beneath the sky

[Verse 2]
Velvet whispers brush the air
Lies entwined in powdered hair
A clock strikes twelve
The spell might break
Or was it real
This dream we fake

[Bridge]
Tick tock
The harpsichord moans
Each note rattles through old bones
Behind the mask
The truth won’t show
But oh
What fun to never know

[Chorus]
Round and round
The masquerade spins
Hiding faces
Concealing sins
Who are you
Who am I
In this charade beneath the sky
