There was a day when everything was good The sky so blue And everywhere I went I knew the truth And what to do But I got lost somehow and soon I served the one to blame I walked the ways of sorrow craving fortune and fame I broke all the promises I made Yes I have to leave this masquerade And I'm leaving it now refrain: Darkness is falling on this road I chose to take But soon will come the hour of unmasking In the end I'll have to pay For my mistake Yes I've been down with the fallen ones I spat right on their face Commitment and compassion were just a faint memory trace But it wasn't real, no, just a dream One day I woke up I can't believe Such a fool, just a tool in this grand masquerade We create and we hate refrain I stumble on this road I had to take Waiting for the hour of unmasking Just name the price and I will pay For my mistake My mistake I'll stand corrected refrain
