Lyrics
[INTRO — wind / clock striking midnight]
The clock strike twelve it's halloween somewhere.
The candles are burning…
The doors are open…
Come inside…Come inside…Come inside…
Tonight…
Nobody knows your name.
Nobody sees your face.
Put on your mask…
Hide your eyes…
The masquerade is about to begin.
[VERSE 1]
Black roses hanging from the ceiling,
Silver smoke across the floor.
Candles burning in the windows,
Something waiting by the door.
Footsteps dancing through the ballroom.
Whispers hiding in the walls.
Every shadow wears a mask,
Every mask knows who you are.
The clock strikes twelve…
The music starts…
And something wakes
Inside the dark.
[PRE-CHORUS]
The clock strikes twelve, hear the ticking. Sound..
Knock…Knock…Knock…
Do you hear?
Round one ..
The dancers turn.
Candles flicker…
Shadows burn.
Don't look behind you…
Don't ask why…
Just put your mask on…
And step inside.
[CHORUS ]
Welcome to the masquerade…
Where nothing is what it seems.
Dance with the shadows…
Walk through the dreams.
Welcome to the masquerade…
Leave your world outside.
The night has opened…
And there's nowhere to hide.
Masks on… Lights down…Music loud…Round two.
Welcome…Welcome…
To the dark side..
[VERSE 2]
Black lace moving through the ballroom,
Footsteps echo on the stone.
Someone's laughing in the distance,
But nobody is standing there alone.
Candles bend without the wind,
The mirrors show a different face.
Something whispers from the darkness…
“Come and take your place.”
The floor begins to tremble,
The ceiling disappears.
Stars are falling through the darkness,
And the moon is drawing near.
[PRE-CHORUS 2]
Tricker treat
smell my poison
Don't be late.
Knock…
Knock…
Knock…
Open the gate.
Round three
Let the dancers spin.
Once you enter…
You can't leave untill the end....
[CHORUS]
Welcome to the masquerade…Where nothing is what it seems.
Dance with the shadows…
Walk through the dreams.
Welcome to the masquerade…
Leave your world outside.
The night has opened…
And there's nowhere to hide.
Masks on…Lights down…
Music loud…
Round four.
Welcome…Welcome…
To the dark side.
[BRIDGE — almost silent]
Shhh…Don't speak.Don't scream.
Don't wake…
What's underneath.
One candle…Two candles…Three…
The shadows are watching.
They're watching me.
[pause] They're watching you.
The masquerade has begun.
[BREAKDOWN - distorted laughter]
Dance..
Dance in the darkness!
Turn off the lights ..
Mask on
Hide your face!
Don't
Don't turn around!
The candles burn!
The shadows rise!
Something is hiding
Behind your eyes!
[FINAL CHORUS]
Welcome to the masquerade…
Where nothing is what it seems.
Dance with the shadows…
Walk through the dreams.
Welcome to the masquerade…
Leave your world outside.
The night has opened…
And there's nowhere to hide.
Masks on…Lights down…
Music loud…Round five
Welcome…Welcome…
To the dark side.
[OUTRO — music box slowing]
The clock strike twelve..
The candles are burning…
The doors are closing…
[whispered]
You may enter…
But you may not return..
[Children giggle]
