We've got the fire, who's got the matches?
Take a look around at the sea of masks
And come one, come all
Welcome to the grand ball
Where the strong run for cover
And the weak stand tall

I'm not one to scatter ashes
But there's some things that'll melt the plastic
Try and dig down deeper if you can.

I'm not afraid, I'm not ashamed, I'm not to blame
Welcome to the masquerade
I'm not ashamed, I'm not afraid, I'm not o.k,
Welcome to the masquerade

We've got the power
Who's got the action?
Break it down, 'till there's nothin'
But a mere fraction
Out of the fire, rise from the ashes
Reject your doubt, and release the passion

Let's get on it
Believe, if you want it
step into the realm
where the real one's flaunt it
Come, back, rewind
Another time on it
Reach out, take that
One off, step on it

I'm not one to scatter ashes
But there's some things that'll melt the plastic
Try and dig down deeper if you can.

I'm not afraid, I'm not ashamed, I'm not to blame
Welcome to the masquerade
I'm not ashamed, I'm not afraid, I'm not o.k,
Welcome to the masquerade
