Forbidden Masquerade by Magnum (Band) Lyrics

You were the joker that gave away dreams
You were the actor that stole every scene
What would you promise and what would you pay?
Could you be honest and never betray?

With every message and each glass of wine
Pockets of silver you never decline

Wasted and you're still reeling
Black cloud
Forbidden masquerade
Sacred, the air you're breathing
Too loud
Terminal serenade

Hey, hey
Just give me some relief
Yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah

Hey, hey
So cry yourself to sleep
Whoa
Could be a beggar or could be a king
Fool everybody then wipe clean your wings
Blood on your fingers and fire in your eye
Make no exception it's yours to deny

Stand in the rain and with tears like a flood
Tell everybody you're misunderstood

Wasted and you're still reeling
Black cloud
Forbidden masquerade
Sacred, the air you're breathing
Too loud
Terminal serenade

Hey, hey
Just give me some relief
Yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah

Hey, hey
So cry yourself to sleep
Whoa, whoa, whoa-whoa

Lost forever
Won't get better
Under pressure
Not so clever
Woke up screaming
You were falling
Woke up dreaming
Every morning

Wasted and you're still reeling
Black cloud
Forbidden masquerade
Sacred, the air you're breathing
Too loud
Terminal serenade
