The Masquerade Lyrics - Singles - A Joker's Rage

This is not in vain close your eyes, 

They brand me with a smile, 

The pain will last a while. 

This is not in vain close your eyes, 

The pain begins to fade, 

Come join the masquerade. 

I wont be tamed, never felt ashamed, 

When Im down and cut and bleeding. 

If Im a prisoner, cut my restraints and free me now 

Im seeking out a brand new feeling. 

I heard a voice far away (or does my mind deceive me) 

Just loud enough for me to know that he said: 

This is not in vain close your eyes, 

They brand me with a smile, 

The pain will last a while. 

This is not in vain close your eyes, 

The pain begins to fade, 

Decisions have been made, 

Your penance has been paid, 

Come join the masquerade. 

Death to my past, this pain will only last 

As long as I dance in denial 

Never going back, never looking back now 

Henceforth I will never pull the mask down. 

Im seeking out a brand new meaning. 

I heard a voice far away (or does my mind deceive me) 

Just loud enough for me to know that he said: 

This is not in vain close your eyes, 

They brand me with a smile, 

The pain will last a while. 

This is not in vain close your eyes, 

The pain begins to fade, 

Decisions have been made, 

Your penance has been paid, 

Come join the masquerade. 

I heard a voice far away (or does my mind deceive me) 

Just loud enough for me to know that he said: 

This is not in vain close your eyes, 

They brand me with a smile, 

The pain will last a while. 

This is not in vain close your eyes, 

The pain begins to fade, 

Decisions have been made, 

Your penance has been paid, 

Come join the masquerade.
