masquerade

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!

Are you not tired of the pretense?
Thou shalt halt
be reunited with universe
stop being foolish
love thy ones who love & care
end the game of insincerity...

Oh nonchalant master of the mask!
stand out from the shadow
greet the world with new light
may it be the dawn
or the twilight
there will always be awakeness
within and beyond
the guise

for there is mixed elements
of colours, black & white,
of true and false
of reality and fantasy
the truth lies within...
