lyrics
Hello there miss, how you doing tonight?
I've been searching for someone to help make it right
Well hello there sir, please don't start a war
I don't wish to see you chained down to the floor
Her gaze lock his as anxiety prickled her skin
His hands start to shake as uneasiness tucks at him
With nothing to lose, but all to gain, a spark in the dark ignites the flame
Then the lights went out
Listen here, take a good look around can't you see that your morals are skewed?
You've been trained to believe all you see on TV as the total and uncensored truth
You're crazy with all your conspiracy theories disturbing the peace
And with no room for error your choices are clear: submit or leave
The standoff began with an uncanny battle of wits
Those that were present knew not what would become of it
That moment on time when they all stood on stage, hands balled up in fists of rage
Then the lights went out
They screamed, she cried, he had no alibi
They came to criticize the night
He ran, ran from all their hating words and appalling gall
To escape the death of progress he, took flight
WAIT! I'm just here to open your eyes and enlighten this nation of youth
Your society's broken, your people are dying, and no one's to blame but you
I won't stand for this you perverse little pig, we work hard to keep up the charade
And now that you know, you must chose to die, or join the masquerade
A buzz filled the room as the crowd began to close in
Someone's gaze averted but most eyes were locked on him
He tore through the crowd in a fight for his life, many would say the flame died that night
Then the lights went out
They screamed, she cried, he had no alibi
They came to criticize the night
He ran, ran from all their hating words and appalling gall
To escape, he ran off into the night
Chained to the floor, exhaustion his only respite
The battle of wits escalated and then claimed his life
The flame flickered once, the flame flickered twice,
The flame was extinguished and smothered that night
All the lights are out
They screamed, they cried, "justice" prevails tonight
The masquerade will carry on
No tears, no joy, there's nothing left to fill the void
Let darkness redirect the beams of light
'Cause they're killing in the masquerade
Killing in the masquerade
Killing in the masquerade
