lirik lagu phantom of the opera – masquerade
chorus
masquerade!
paper faces on parade . . .
masquerade!
hide your face,
so the world will
never find you!
masquerade!
every face a different shade . . .
masquerade!
look around –
there’s another
mask behind you!
flash of mauve . . .
splash of puce . . .
fool and king . . .
ghoul and goose . . .
green and black . . .
queen and priest . . .
trace of rouge . . .
face of beast . . .
faces . . .
take your turn, take a ride
on the merry-go-round . . .
in an inhuman race . . .
eye of gold . . .
thigh of blue . . .
true is false . . .
who is who . . .?
curl of lip . . .
swirl of gown . . .
ace of hearts . . .
face of clown . . .
faces . . .
drink it in, drink it up,
till you’ve drowned
in the light . . .
in the sound . . .
raoul/christine
but who can name the face . . .?
all
masquerade!
grinning yellows,
spinning reds . . .
masquerade!
take your fill –
let the spectacle
astound you!
masquerade!
burning glances,
turning heads . . .
masquerade!
stop and stare
at the sea of smiles
around you!
masquerade!
seething shadows
breathing lies . . .
masquerade!
you can fool
any friend who
ever knew you!
masquerade!
leering satyrs,
peering eyes . . .
masquerade!
run and hide –
but a face will
still pursue you!

phantom
why so silent, good messieurs?
did you think that i had left you for good?
have you missed me, good messieurs?
i have written you an opera!
here i bring the finished score –
“don juan triumphant”!
i advise you
to comply –
my instructions
should be clear –
remember
there are worse things
than a shattered chandelier . . .
your chains are still mine –
you will sing for me!
