Morpheus In A Masquerade

One more night
One more before I shall whither and die
Grant me just one more life
One more I'm needed to make this thing right.

The more that I gave
The less I received
It's all for them
And none for me.

I am unworthy to be sacrificed
I'm such a tragic coming.

Doing the dance, and singing the songs
I'm Morpheus in a Masquerade
Your just sins, I have held deep-within
I will burn down for you.

One more night
For me to turn into what I portrayed
Call me by my true name
One more time, one more before it's too late.

It's not the ovations that I so adore
It's your shrine I kneel before
You were my beginning and you'll be my end
My lover and my friend.

There in the dark you have always been waiting
Waiting for me to return back home
Hold onto me when the ballroom has ended
Masquerade has faded.

Dark is the road that now lies before me
Twisting the path to that empty house
Where evil lurks in every darkened room
Just waiting for you.

Liars and the martyrs
I've got dreams to auction
Devil can you hear me?
I've got souls to sell.

Sinner or a saint
For me it's all the same
I have grown so tired
Of this Masquerade.

My ray of hope, where are you now
When I need you the most?
You are the child of love
And you are all i've been longing for.

Let your morning fall upon me
Let the night time fade away
Bestow on me forgiveness
And let me live for another day!

And i've gone and made my bed
And in it I will lay
Bored of evil, for now
I'm old and gray.

I'm Morpheus, please dance with me
As always can take the lead
And guide me through the walls of light
Sailing through the seas of night.

I'm Morpheus, please caress me
Hold my heart, too weak to beat
For I'm not sure I want to see
What you've come to show to me.

Tonight, see the weight of a broken man
Standing by the shore-line
He turns around
And I can see it's me.

Standing where the ocean touch the sand
This little boy
Has grown to be a man
Let me be the best I can.

Take me where the clouds caress the horizon
Where all I hear is whisper of the wind
And mothers rule must move things on, once more
Where is the star I used to wish upon, so long ago?

One moment, I'm broken
My heart will be wide open
For someone, for no one
Cast to the wind, my ashes.

Here I stand, naked and ashamed
I've been stripped down to the bone
The Emperor's new clothes
And no one here can see.

And no one can say
But it's good enough for me
I'm undone and forsaken
By my imaginary friends.

You'll all leave me alone
So I can down my existence
For in the end
I don't even know who I am.

I've shifted shapes so many times
I've forgotten which ones mine
So sick and tired
Of been sick and tired.

My quest for immortality
Has made me so much more human
Than I ever wished to be
My love, save me!
