There you are stood in your edifice of power
Allegiance to a belief or just a misguided dream
Leaders of our history dictators of the scene
Come an join the masquerade
We fall outta darkness the fears that will fade
Come on join the masquerade
Join the masquerade
I'll tell ya

There you are controlling the situation
Telling them all what you want them to hear, oooh yeah

Come and join the masquerade
We fall outta darkness the fears that will fade
Come on join the masquerade

Join the masquerade
The clowns are the stars in this satirical parade
The tide will turn before it's too late
Believe all our lies were all in this too deep
The power you hold the havoc you wreak
