Morpheus in a Masquerade Lyrics


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 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!
