A very upbeat song for a serious subject matter. Recorded at Starlake Studio, produced by Al Sieg and Cry Holy.
Lyrics
No faith, no pain, no love, no tears
No way to mend the broken years
You stole away the only chance they had
The lights go out, the streets are cold
They walk away on the chosen road
The road that leads so far away from God
But late at night when the silent tears fall
When the lights go out
It ends the Masquerade Ball
Chrous
Masquerade Ball
Their faces, they're hiding
Their hearts, they're dying
Masquerade Ball
A new life behind old masks
They realize what the truth is
Masquerade Ball
They're crying, they're calling
Jesus tonight
They'll see in the end they can't hide
In the Masquerade Ball
Two mouths unfed, the streets ain't fair
They beg, they plead, but no one cares
I hear her say "Mommy tell me why"
Hear my prayer, Lord tonight
Help pick up the pieces of this broken life
I've run so far, so far away from you
But late at night when the silent tears fall
When the lights go out
It ends the Masquerade Ball
Masquerade Ball
Their faces, I'm hiding, my heart, it's dying
Masquerade Ball
A new life behind this mask
I realize what the truth is
Masquerade Ball
I'm crying, I'm calling
Jesus tonight
I've seen in the end I can't hide
In the Masquerade Ball
