Masquerade Lyrics - Uriah Heep

A masquerade of dancing shadows 

Appear before me 

Through my mystic window 

And soon to be seen 

I saw presented 

Became a vision that 

I saw resented 

I stood and watched 

Its image changing 

The unseen hand was rearranging 

And all the time I wondered 

How did it wind 

Slowly, surely it unfolded 

Its simple lines just as 

A pole wind told it 

A temporary revolution 

My problems rose and fell 

With a lapse of illusion 

My mind was telling me, don't fight it 

It's just a hazard in the night 

Don't do those 

Who've lost their way 

It's a masquerade 

Masquerade, it's a masquerade ...
