Tearing me apart With words you wouldn't say Suddenly tomorrow's Moment washed away 'Cause I don't have a reason And you don't have the time We both keep on waiting For something we won't find The light on the horizon Was brighter yesterday Shadows floating over Skies begin to fade You said it was forever But then it slipped away Standing at the end of The final masquerade All I ever wanted Secrets that you keep All you ever wanted The truth I couldn't speak 'Cause I can't see forgiveness And you can't see the crime And we both keep on waiting For what we left behind The light on the horizon Was brighter yesterday Shadows floating over Skies begin to fade You said it was forever But then it slipped away Standing at the end of The final masquerade Final masquerade Standing at the end of the final masquerade The light on the horizon Was brighter yesterday Shadows floating over Skies begin to fade You said it was forever But then it slipped away Standing at the end of The final masquerade Standing at the end of The final masquerade Standing at the end of The final masquerade
