Lyrics Anthony Driverson - Carnival Night

Carnival Night

Mischief and joy are around.
Happy shouts and laugh are bursting the air...
But from you they are heard
Just like some sound of echo,
Like meaningless noise.

You're depressed...
You're confused
And feel the imminent misfortune.

Mad carnival! (x5)
The danger is everywhere.

These masks...
Who're hiding under them?
You don't want to know this,
To know this.
But you're watching with your vacant look
The devil's dance.

Nagging feel in your chest
Brought back the pain of the lost memories.
They've found you,
Craving for revenge!
(The demons of the past...)

Masquerade! This is masquerade!
Feel yourself what you want to be.
Masquerade! This is masquerade!
Open the new essense in yourself.

This night makes the weak more self-confident,
Gives more power to the strong (x2).
The holiday is in the heart of everybody
(For the whole year)
Who believes in the metamorphosis power there.

This is masquerade!

You're alone
Afraid of coming into the light.
Afraid of being catched by the dance.
But you can't leave either...

You won't escape the duty!
You won't escape the truth!
You won't escape the justice!
You won't escape yourself!..

Somebody came out of the crowd and attracted you.
Her eyes... (x2)
So unforgettable.
Love and hatred burn within them,
Sorrow and wish,
Despair and charity...

You follow your companion evenly,
And every step makes your life shorter for year.
Everything stopped existing for you,
The dancing shadows do not frighten anymore.
Your thoughts are hers only. (x2)
The next fleeting moment
And her hand is piercing with the dagger
Your chest...

Masquerade! This is masquerade!
Feel yourself what you want to be.
Masquerade! This is masquerade!
Open the new essense in yourself.

This night makes the weak more self-confident,
Gives more power to the strong (x2).
The holiday is in the heart of everybody
(For the whole year)
Who believes in the metamorphosis power there.

This is masquerade!
Deadly masquerade!..

A: Nobody deserves the death on this carnival.
Nobody... (x2)
B: The blood won't wash away the disgrace,
The revenge won't expiate the deeds.
C: The light is fading in the eyes of the youth,
And thunder is heard from the skies.

SOLO

No pain. (x3)
The calmness came.
The mask fell down.
You're looking into the eyes of your young murderer.

Her tear fell down to your palm,
And you smiled to her.
The words forgiving flew off her lips,
And the walls of stone repeated her prayer...

Our Creator watches us from above
And judging by our deeds decides
How to do with us. (x2)
...You'll live to love!

Masquerade! This is masquerade!
Feel yourself what you want to be.
Masquerade! This is masquerade!
Open the new essense in yourself.

This night makes the weak more self-confident,
Gives more power to the strong (x2).
The holiday is in the heart of everybody
(For the whole year)
Who believes in the metamorphosis power there.

This is masquerade!
Deadly masquerade!..

A: Nobody deserves the death on this carnival.
Nobody...
B: The blood won't wash away the disgrace,
The revenge won't expiate the deeds.
C: The light is fading in the eyes of the youth,
And thunder is heard from the skies.

Coda:
Don't forgive the promises and faithful oaths. (x4)
Be close to those who appreciate you! (x4)
And then the whole life will become for you
The splendid carnival.
