You've got no reason to trust me, you don't even know my name Since we're the only ones left, there's no one else to blame We make our way as The Kindly Ones spin their wheel Standing in the temple that we both used to call our home The look in your eye is blank, as the ground gives in And we fall The Piper never gambles, she wakes up by the gates She asked if I could hear him I just smiled and held her hand It's never too late to die As the Dream King approaches she lets go of my hand The Piper never gambles, she wakes up by the gates She asked if I could hear him I just smiled and held her hand It's never too late to die Don't dare cross the line It's never too late to die I will never forget your smile It's never too late to x3 It's never too late to die

Awoken by a gentle voice I've never heard before As darkness gives in to the moon At first sight of her my body starts to tremble She is Death, this I know The palest man waits patiently, by the marble arch My treasure on naked feet, towards him "Did you save me?" "Do you think you could?" "Are you here to strike me down?" ("What are you waiting for?") I found my way, through dreams and trough darkness It is as if time just fades away Without silver lining what do we see? We are, we are helpless And that will never change She turns her head for one last glance A subtle smile on her lips; "Forgive me." Death moves around me, with tears in her eyes ("There's nothing i can do.") "You must pay the price." ("What are you waiting for?") I found my way, through dreams and trough darkness It is as if time just fades away Without silver lining what do we see? We are, we are helpless And that will never change x2

As he quietly whisks you away Never too be seen by me again I turn around, Death whispers gentle words "Oh, how I wish that I could take you there..." Without a warning, another claps his hands "If you don't mind my sister, I'd love to interject." He claps his hands again, something seems to change "You're one of us, now take the knee. Cause I am your sun and moon." And as my body shivers, it ceases to exist. I love you back. The masquerade of time and space Destruction holds the door The decadence of endless fates Come join us, come see the show What have I become? This body is no longer made of flesh and blood The Prince of Stories wait for me, across the ballroom floor The masquerade makes way for me x3 And i'll hold on forever You are mine and I am yours You are my heart The masquerade of time and space Destruction holds the door The decadence of endless fates Come join us, come see the show The masquerade of time and space Come join us, come see the show

If I could choose, the way of fools I would But I'm not one of you Gamblers beg and kings they fall It's no matter, I'm still the one who runs this show Come with me take my hand We burn together like a wildfire Tear it all without remorse To find the one, your only treasure All is well, if it ends well He wears the darkest suit I've ever seen I know I know just what to do Standing outside in the rain I gave you what you crave to offer aid Shivers run as The Devil smiles We burn together like a wildfire Tear it all without remorse To find the one, your only treasure All is well, if it ends well

Cautious steps, over marble floor There is no more music, no one makes a sound In the back of my head an itch, a whisper in the wind "If you find him like this, you will not win." "I know a way." "For now you run." "Now that we're alone..." His eyes are glowing in the darkness "I will get you what you want, just sign this contract." The night twist and turn A blood red moon is rising "I have done my part in full, now pay The Piper" If all is well that ends well (If all is well that ends well) What if it never, what if it never ends The faceless heart will sing for me (The faceless hearts will sing for me) Whatever happens, you'll be the one to blame Her voice cuts through the veil His hooves are clattering like thunder The covenant has been made "Oh, lord forgive..." As he takes his leave, he points a bony finger "She will come back with me! Forever your price to pay") If all is well that ends well (If all is well that ends well) What if it never, what if it never ends The faceless heart will sing for me (The faceless hearts will sing for me) Whatever happens, you'll be the one to blame The Fallen Angel laughs at me "She will remember, all you will soon forget."
