The Masquerade Songtext
von Credic

Showtime, step out and act again
Put on your clothes, the matching shoes, colour the grey of day
Anytime ready to compete
There′s only one main character in every play

You strike an attitude
You sacrifice yourself
The chanting of the audience a sonar for success
Go put some make-up on
And masquerade yourself
The applause of the audience the amplitude of fame

All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players
They have their exits and their entrances
And one man in his time plays many parts
His acts being seven ages

Lifetime determined to construct oneself
Never to terminate the portrait of thyself


Your attitude no compromise
Your attribute self-sacrifice
Your aptitude to agonize
No gratitude you′re left to your own devices

All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players
They have their exits and their entrances
And one man in his time plays many parts
His acts being seven ages

All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players
All the world′s a stage and all the world′s a stage and all the world's a stage and we are merely players

You strike an attitude
You sacrifice yourself
For the chanting of the audience
Go put some make-up on
And masquerade yourself
For the applause of the audience


Your attitude
Your attribute
Your aptitude
No gratitude
No compromise
Self-sacrifice
To agonize
You′re left to your own devices

Self-sacrifice
