Shattered Serenade

Behind the mask a fragile face A tale of love in dark embrace The phantom's heart a hollow song In shadows deep it won't belong Through corridors where secrets breathe A haunted soul begins to seethe Love's illusion starts to fade His dreams of her in night cascade Masked betrayal the truth revealed A broken heart no balm can heal Behind the mask A tear A scar Love lost beneath a ghostly star Whispers echo in the night A lover's quarrel out of sight Veins of sorrow pumping fast How long can this masquerade last Masked betrayal the truth revealed A broken heart no balm can heal Behind the mask A tear A scar Love lost beneath a ghostly star Candles flicker as he cries Hidden pain behind those eyes Love's sweet dream now turned to dust In shadowed hearts Misplaced trust Candles flicker as he cries Hidden pain behind those eyes Love's sweet dream now turned to dust In shadowed hearts Misplaced trust
