[Verse 1]
Tearing me apart with the words you wouldn't say
And suddenly tomorrow's a moment washed away

The light on the horizon was brighter yesterday
With shadows floating over, the scars began to fade
We said it was forever, but then it slipped away
Standing at the end of the final masquerade
[Post-Chorus]

We said it was forever, but then it slipped away
Standing at the end of the final masquerade
[Outro]
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh) Standing at the end of the final masquerade
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh) Standing at the end of the final masquerade (Oh-oh-oh), the final masquerade
(Oh-oh-oh)
