[Intro – clean guitar, ruhig, melancholisch]
[Clean Guitar, ambient, soft delay]
We wore the silence like a shield
Hiding wounds we couldn’t heal
[Verse 1 – ruhig, emotional]
[Male Vocal, soft, emotional]
You said we’d never fall apart
But every word just left a scar
We built a world on broken trust
Now all that’s left is turning dust
I tried to see what we became
But every road led back to pain
Your shadow fades but still remains
A ghost inside my veins
[Pre-Chorus – Aufbau]
[Build up, emotional tension]
We’re standing on the edge again
Pretending we can still pretend
[Chorus – groß, emotional, typisch LP]
[Big Chorus, emotional, guitars, wide]
This is our final masquerade
No more lies left to save
We’re just strangers wearing names
In a game we couldn’t play
I tried to hold on to the light
But we were fading out of sight
And now there’s nothing left to say
In this final masquerade
[Verse 2 – mehr Druck]
[Male Vocal, stronger, light grit]
I see the truth behind your eyes
A thousand carefully built lies
We danced around what we both knew
There’s nothing left of me and you
Every promise turned to dust
Every memory lost in rust
We tried to fight, we tried to stay
But slowly slipped away
[Pre-Chorus]
[Build up, rising tension]
We’re standing on the edge again
Pretending we can still pretend
[Chorus – intensiver]
[Big Chorus, powerful, layered vocals]
This is our final masquerade
No more lies left to save
We’re just strangers wearing names
In a game we couldn’t play
I tried to hold on to the light
But we were fading out of sight
And now there’s nothing left to say
In this final masquerade
[Bridge – ruhig → emotional Peak]
[Breakdown, piano + ambient]
We tried to be what we’re not
We gave everything we got
[Emotional push]
But every piece just fell away…
[Final Chorus – maximal emotional]
[Final Chorus, epic, full band, emotional peak]
This is our final masquerade
No more lies left to save
We’re just strangers wearing names
In a game we couldn’t play
I tried to hold on to the light
But we were fading out of sight
And now there’s nothing left to say
In this final masquerade
