This piece was posted by Dr Heracy, and he requested that it be included. I think we should stick in an excerpt, somewhere towards the back, perhaps with a bunch of the mask avatars from the Misc Art page. This song is originally from Phantom of the Opera. I've cut it down a bit, but feel free to trim further to make it fit. Here's a youtube video of the song, in case you're curious: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QlYr8hTXnBs -Cram
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!
Flash of mauve . . .
Splash of puce . . .
Fool and king . . .
Ghoul and goose . . .
Green and black . . .
Queen and priest . . .
Trace of rouge . . .
Face of beast . . .
Faces . . . Take your turn, take a ride
on the merry-go-round . . .
in an inhuman race . . .
Eye of gold . . .
Thigh of blue . . .
True is false . . .
Who is who . . .?
Curl of lip . . .
Swirl of gown . . .
Ace of hearts . . .
Face of clown . . .
Faces . . .
Drink it in, drink it up, till you've
drowned
in the light . . .
in the sound . . .
But who can name the face . . .?
Masquerade!
Grinning yellows, spinning reds . . .
Masquerade!
Take your fill - let the spectacle
astound you!
Masquerade!
Burning glances, turning heads . . .
Masquerade!
Stop and stare at the sea of smiles
around you!
Masquerade!
Seething shadows breathing lies . . .
Masquerade!
You can fool any friend who ever knew
you!
Masquerade! Leering satyrs, peering
eyes . . .
Masquerade!
Run and hide - but a face will still
pursue you!
What a night What a crowd!
Makes you glad! Makes you proud!
All the creme de la creme!
Watching us watching them! And all our
fears are in the past!
Of relief!
Of delight!
Of Erisyan peace!
And we can breathe at last!
Think of it!
A secret engagement!
But why is it secret?
What have we to hide?
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!
Masquerade!
Burning glances, turning heads . . .
Masquerade!
Stop and stare at the sea of smiles
around you!
Masquerade!
Grinning yellows, spinning reds . . .
Masquerade!
Take your fill - let the spectacle
astound you
