[Verse 1]

There are secret places, hidden faces

Things we cannot see

Stories left untold, legends of old

And hidden mysteries

Stand tall, masks fall, but before they hit the ground

I'll say a prayer for you, yes

[Pre-Chorus]

Don't waste my time, waste your life living a lie

Don't dance with the demons that pass you by

[Chorus]

Oh, is my desperate fight alone?

In this masquerade, this masquer-masquerade

(Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh)

[Verse 2]

Nothing's as it seems and like a dream

Spins its evil lair

Sent to mesmerize your heart with lies

And try to keep you there

Awake, don't break, I don't wanna see you fall

Into no escape

[Pre-Chorus]

Don't waste my time, waste your life living a lie

Don't dance with the demons that pass you by

[Chorus]

Oh, is my desperate fight alone?

In this masquerade, this masquerade

I want no part in chasing thrones

In this masquerade, this masquer-masquerade

(Oh-yeah, yeah, yeah)

[Bridge]

(Secret places, things we cannot see)

(Masquer-masquerade)

(Don't dance with the demons—)

(Awake, don't break I don't wanna see you fall, into—)

(Masquer-masquerade)

(Don't dance with the demons—)

Your facade has become your god (Anti faciem, anti faciem)

Oh, your facade has become your god (Anti faciem, anti faciem)

[Chorus]

Is my desperate fight alone? (Anti faciem, anti faciem)

In this masquerade, this masquerade (Anti faciem, anti faciem)

I want no part in chasing thrones (Anti faciem, anti faciem)

In this masquerade, this masquerade (Anti faciem)

[Outro]

(I don't wanna see you fall, into—)

(Masquer-masquerade)

(Don't dance with the demons—)

(Anti faciem, anti faciem)

(Anti faciem, anti faciem)
