I step inside the neon tide
The city scatters all the tears I've cried
A fiddler plays by the alleyway
His moon drunk gaze cannot be denied
He said I know what you're looking for
You are everything I need
So take my hand, let go your plans
We will see where fortune leads
I've lived a million lies
Beneath vermillion skies
Come let's break free from this pale charade
Pure joy is what remains, let's reach beyond the game
Still we are not lost when the nightmare fades
He dealt the cards, their colored marks
Spell the secrets of who we are
A whispered wish on a storm at sea
All my yearnings out in front of me
He laid his final wager down,
A singing stone, a tarnished crown
The price you pay for true love's cost
I played my hand, but I knew I'd lost
I've lived a million lies
Beneath Vermillion Skies
Come let's break free from this pale charade
Pure joy is what remains, let's reach beyond the game
Step inside the Crimson Masquerade
Abandon reason
All who enter here
There's just one thing you've got to lose
And it's everything you fear
I've lived a million lies
Beneath Vermillion Skies
Come let's break free from this pale charade
Pure joy is what remains, let's reach beyond the game
We'll spin until the sky begins to shake
I've lived a million lies
Beneath Vermillion Skies
Still we are not lost when the nightmare fades
Pure joy is what remains, let's reach beyond the game
Welcome to Crimson Masquerade
Bye bye, sleepy-bye
Dawn dreams in your minds eye
