[00:11.03] Hide your face, so the world will never find you!
[00:16.11] Masquerade!
[00:18.87] Every face a different shade
[00:21.30] Masquerade
[00:23.10] Look around, there's another mask behind you!
[00:27.50] Flash of mauve
[00:28.23] Splash of puce
[00:29.03] Fool and king
[00:30.09] Ghoul and goose
[00:30.86] Green and black

[00:32.41] Trace of rouge
[00:33.39] Face of beast
[00:34.63] Faces
[00:35.98] Take your turn, take a ride
[00:37.56] On the merry-go-round in an inhuman race
[00:41.83] Thigh of blue

[00:49.66] Drink it in, drink it up
[00:51.21] Till you've drowned, in the light, in the sound
[00:53.68] But who can name the face?

[01:34.80] Leering satyrs, peering eyes
[01:37.43] Masquerade
[01:39.15] Run and hide, but a face will still pursue you
[01:43.68] What a night, what a crowd
[01:45.55] Makes you glad, makes you proud
[01:47.13] All the crême de la crême
[01:48.94] Watching us and watching them
[01:50.39] And all of these are in the past
[01:51.16] Six months, of relief of delight
[01:54.06] Of elysian peace
[01:56.48] And we can breath at last
[01:57.52] No more notes, no more ghost
[01:59.31] Here's a health, here's a toast
[02:01.01] To a prosperous year, to the new chandelier
[02:04.24] And may it splendour, never fade
[02:05.16] Six months, what a joy, what a change
[02:07.83] What a blessed release and what a masquerade!
[02:12.13] Think of it, a secret engagement
[02:15.43] Look your future bride
[02:18.31] Just think of it
[02:19.98] But why is secret? What have we to hide?
[02:24.82] Please let's not fight (Christine you're free)
[02:26.13] Wait till the time is right, (when will that be?)
[02:28.04] It is an engagement, not a crime
[02:31.28] Christine, what are you afraid of?
[02:35.45] Let's not argue (let's not argue)
[02:38.70] Please pretend (I can only hope)
[02:41.84] You will understand in time
[02:46.16]
