Vs 1/
We’ve got the fire, who’s got the matches?
Take a look around at the sea of masks
And come one, come all, welcome to the Grand Ball,
Where the strong run for cover,
And the weak stand tall
Take off your masks,
And lets let it all out,
Release what’s undercover,
‘Til the truth comes out
'Cause there’s no other way
We can formulate change,
And unmask the lion, from its
Rusty cage
Pre-Chorus/
I’m not one to scatter ashes,
But there’s some things that’ll
Melt the plastic
Try and dig down deeper, if you can..
Chorus/
I’m not afraid, I’m not ashamed,
I’m not to blame,
Welcome to the masquerade
I’m not ashamed, I’m not afraid,
I’m not o.k.,
Welcome to the masquerade
Vs 2/
We’ve got the power,
Who’s got the action?
Break it down,
‘Til there’s nothin’
But a mere fraction
…Out of the fire,
Rise from the ashes,
Re-ject ..ya doubt,
And ..re-lease the passion/
Let’s get on it,
Believe, if you want it,
Step into the realm,
Where the real ones flaunt it
Come back, re-wind,
Another time on it,
Reach out, take that,
One off, step on it
Pre-Chorus/
I’m not one to scatter ashes,
But there’s some things that’ll
Melt the plastic
Try and dig down deeper, if you can..
Chorus/
I’m not afraid, I’m not ashamed,
I’m not to blame,
Welcome to the masquerade
I’m not ashamed, I’m not afraid,
I’m not o.k.,
Welcome to the masquerade
Bridge/
I’m not afraid, I’m not ashamed,
I’m not to blame….,
Welcome to the masquerade
I’m not ashamed,
I’m not afraid,
I’m not o.k….,
Welcome to the masquerade
…..Welcome to the masquerade
Pre-Chorus/
I’m not one to scatter ashes,
But there’s some things that’ll
Melt the plastic
Try and dig down deeper, if you can...
Chorus/
I’m not afraid, I’m not ashamed,
I’m not to blame,
Welcome to the masquerade
I’m not ashamed, I’m not afraid,
I’m not o.k.,
Welcome to the masquerade
