The Final Masquerade

Come with me my darling, and take my hand.

I will show you a wonderful night filled with the finest of illusions and sights that will leave you in awe.

 

Such beautiful masks, what a sight they are! '

The gold, the glitter, the mystery beneath these masks.

The shapes, sizes, and colorful designs that makes one wonder, who the man is under that mask.

 

For one night, we can be anyone we wish to be.

So come with me, take my hand and leave the person you really are.

Allow the alias consume you, for the world is your stage.

Leave the tragedies, the romance, and misery in your other life.

Because for one night, you are that character.

 

Forget the disappointment, the fear, and reality.

It is all a major role call for our dear friend, insanity.

So take a bow, embrace that mask.

For it is now a part of you.

 

Allow the fear and uncertainty consume you, and set you ablaze.

Come with me my darling, and take my hand.

I will show you a wonderful night filled with the finest of illusions and sights that will leave you in awe.

Such beautiful masks, what a sight they are!

They disguise the insecurities and loneliness beneath.

Souls who yearn for something more than these beautiful masks can offer.

 

Come with me my darling, and take my hand.

I will show you a wonderful night filled with the finest of illusions and sights that will leave you in awe.

The final masquerade is near! You do not want to miss your show and fail to perform upon cue.

Our carriage awaits, and the curfew is set.

Come with me my darling, and take my hand.

We must put on a good show if you ever want to be happy again.

So take that beautiful mask, and disguise that frown.

Allow it to turn your world upside down, after all it is all just for show!

 

Come with me my darling, and take my hand.

I will show you a wonderful night filled with the finest of illusions and sights that will leave you in awe.

The final masquerade is here, and look!

 

Right on cue.
