LYRICS:
1.VERSE:
I know the key to secrets never told,
they?re hidden in your soul
Feelings you hide never wanting me to find
they?ve always been mine
Release all the madness within,
let it all begin
Now you?ll see, the dark side of me
CHORUS:
In our BLACK MASQUERADE
Let the moonlight surround you
ooooh ooooh
The game that we play
Am Am G G F F E E[this is the BRIDGE]
is the BLACK MASQUERADE
2.VERSE:
The full moon unmasks the stranger in us all
and the cruel world takes its toll
The shadow is cast on who you used to be,
let me set you free
Come on now, come take my hand,
then you?ll understand
We?ll go to that forbidden land
CHORUS:
of our BLACK MASQUERADE
Let the moonlight surround you
ooooh ooooh
1
The game that we play
F [this is the first tune of the SOLO]
is the BLACK MASQUERADE
SOLO:
3.VERSE: (just the second part of a verse)
Release all the madness within,
let it all begin
We ?ll go to that forbidden land
END-CHORUS:
come let me take you there
Let the moonlight surround you
ooooh ooooh
Am G B [this is the CHANGE]
don?t be afraid
it?s the BLACK MASQUERADE
BLACK MASQUERADE [FADE ?TIL END]
[or use the LIVE FINISH]
The game that we play
B(7)
is the BLACK MASQUERADE
