Moonlit Masquerade Parade

I slid through the velvet night

Past the lanterns burning blue

Every mask is smiling wide

But I can feel the secrets move

Whispers spin around my name

Cold like sugar, sharp like flame

Every glance is not the same

Someway, come replace this game

We dance in the moonlight masquerade

Where every shadow has a secret to trade

Hands in the dark, let the mystery stay

Under the moonlight masquerade

We dance, we dance, we dance away

Silver heels on cracked stone floors

Hear the bells begin to ring

Behind the curtains, hidden doors

Open to the midnight sting

Whispers spin around my name

Cold like sugar, sharp like flame

Every glance is not the same

Something hungry plays this game

We dance in the moonlit masquerade

Where every shadow has a secret to trade

And in the dark of the mystery state

Under the moonlight masquerade

We dance, we dance, we dance away

All the faces fade to black

When the strings begin to rise

I don't wanna turn me back

I can see it in their eyes

We dance in the moonlit masquerade

Where every shadow has a secret to trade

Spooky chance in the cold half-lake

We're alive in the edge of the night

We dance in the moonlit masquerade

And nobody leaves the same

We dance, we dance, we dance away
