There's a mask for each of your sins.
There's an indulgence to pay for each violation.
There's a scorn for all that exists. -
But how: if there's nothing beyond all this?
Under the light
Theater of doom
Denial of life
Wretchedness is soon...
The cold of the night
My spirit will burn
Needed "to do right":
To hide and not learn!
Before the cross - tears in vain!
Representing ourselves in the stage again...
Cover your eyes not to see your life.
But until there in darkness stays my heart!
Under the light
Theater of doom
Denial of life
Wretchedness is soon...
The cold of the night
My spirit will burn
Needed "to do right":
To hide and not learn!
Beneath a black masquerade!
Oh, black masquerade!
(we surrender!)
