Mandrake Masquerade
I thought I opened myself
Shared my deepest passion
Was so sure that you beheld
My secret dream’s redemption
Nothing here has ever changed
Still I kneel in confidence
Wait for the winds to take my hand
Truth drowns before my eyes
Let me not see its honour fade
Balmy pain in masquerade
Please let truth retain its soul
Far away we will grow old
All alone I find no grace
Only last word’s cold embrace
Lost emotions I once knew
I give what I should take from you
