Текст песни
Verse 1:
In a castle of stone, like a gilded cage,
I lived with my shadow, locked in a rage.
They brought me a prince, said, "He's the one, you'll see."
But his soul was a desert, as empty as me.
Outside he was perfect, a polished, handsome mask,
Inside there was nothing, just a pain that would last.
My hope had burned out, there was no more light,
I stopped believing I'd ever win this fight.
Pre-Chorus:
But somewhere deep inside, where the silence grows,
A candle flame flickered, the only light I knows.
It held me together, kept me from the fall,
In this world of lies, it was my all.
Chorus:
But then one night at the ball, 'midst the masquerade,
I met a pair of eyes, and a deal was made.
They melted my candle, the flame that kept me warm,
They lit a fire inside, a beautiful storm!
Through the crowd, through the dark, through the fancy dress,
I walked towards that light, to finally confess!
We were always meant to find each other's spark,
And to burn together, here, out of the dark!
(Guitar Solo)
Verse 2:
He stood by the pillar, just holding his glass,
All of high society was just weeds in the grass.
He was like a train going nowhere at all,
But with him next to me, I knew I wouldn't fall.
I forgot all the pain, I forgot my old cell,
In his eyes, I found a truth I knew so well.
He wasn't like the first one, so hollow and vain,
He was real, he was solid, and he washed away the stain.
Pre-Chorus:
And the candle inside flickered one last time,
The flame roared to life, and it chased away the grime!
I jumped in headfirst, I was burning the past,
Where the two of us stand, we are home at last!
Chorus:
'Cause that one night at the ball, 'midst the masquerade,
I met a pair of eyes, and a deal was made.
They melted my candle, the flame that kept me warm,
They lit a fire inside, a beautiful storm!
Through the crowd, through the dark, through the fancy dress,
I walked towards that light, to finally confess!
We were always meant to find each other's spark,
And to burn together, here, out of the dark!
(Bridge)
They said, "Stop! Come to your senses! Where do you think you'll go?"
But the voice in my heart, it told me all I need to know.
It was screaming his name, it was breaking the chains,
To where love is real, and nothing else remains!
(Guitar Solo)
Chorus:
'Cause that one night at the ball, 'midst the masquerade, (The masquerade!)
I met a pair of eyes, and a deal was made! (A deal was made!)
They melted my candle, lit a fire in my soul!
Through the crowd, through the dark, I was finally whole!
I WALKED!
Towards!
This love!
