My Last Act

Lights on,
the crowd awaits for me, the eyes open wide.
How could they see the pain behind the mask?

I change my name every night,
a safe different world surrounding...

Lights out
No worries, no frailties
here where my dreams'll forever lie.
When silence falls I can leave all lies behind.
Lights out
At the end of all plays
the shadows reveal the seed that grows in my heart,
the black swan in me when lights out...

The curtain call, a last flicker before the dark.
My room at last,
the make-up flakes...

Just me with my sorrows,
laying somewhere cold the candle has burned out.
Grant me a wish, mirror hanging on the wall,
to dry my tears on a new dawn.

Lights out
No worries, no frailties
here where my dreams'll forever lie.
When silence falls I can leave all lies behind.
Lights out
At the end of all plays
the shadows reveal the seed that grows in my heart,
the black swan in me when lights out...

Drowned in my dreams I roved in search for the sun through this endless dark.
I slip out of the door and reach the top of the Opera.

The wind on my skin wipes away tears of sham as I fall...
The shades of the night crawl around me, this is the end of my last act...
