Bloodred Masquerade

Dark veil upon bloodred eyes looking at me
Shadows are playing this game of pretending

Put on your mask, keep all the rules
Show me your deepest sorrow and solitude
Let me think all your words are true

Way of pretending, beautiful lies
Cascading rhymes
Eternal life beyond the altar of burning desires

Bleeding tears are only painted tracks
Smiles are fake, prayers are but the all of a sinner
Silver moonlight whisper
Thousand masks you wear won’t hide
That soul you keep deep inside
Play your part from the heart
While the word cuts like a redhot blade
Bloodred masquerade

Beneath all the dreams and lies
Hide behind your masks
You couldn’t run away from this

Dark play took your heart, pretending goes too far
Lies became but a fake truth
You are living this bloodred masquerade
Guilt turned to shame, a darkest game
