Morpheus In A Masquerade

One more night,
One more before I shall wither 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 comic

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 was empty,
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 you can take the lead,
And guide me through the walls of lie,
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
Abandoned 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 being sick and tired

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