Karaoké Masquerade / Why So Silent Le Fantôme de l'Opéra (comédie musicale)

Masquerade paper faces on parade masquerade

Hide your face so the world will never find you

Masquerade every face a different shade

Masquerade look around there's another mask behind you

Flash of mauve splash of puce fool and king ghoul and goose

Green and black

Queen and priest

Trace of rouge face of beast faces

Take your turn take a ride on the Merry-go-roundin'

An inhuman race eye of gold true is false

Who is who? curl of lip swirl of gown

Ace of hearts face of clown faces

Drink it in drink it up 'till you've drowned

In the light in the sound masquerade

But who can name the face?

But who can name the face?

Grinning yellows spinning reds masquerade

Take your fill let the spectacle astound you

Masquerade burning glances turning heads

Masquerade stop and stare at the sea of smiles around you

Masquerade seething shadows

Breathing lies masquerade

You can fool any friend who ever knew you

Masquerade leering satyrs peering eyes

Masquerade run and hide but a face will still pursue you

What a night what a crowd

Makes you glad makes you proud all the crème de la crème

Watching us and all our fears are in the past

Six months of relief of delight of Elysian peace

And we can breathe at last here's a health

No more notes no more ghost here's a toast

To a prosperous year to the new chandelier

And may the splendor never fade the splendor never fade what a change

What a blessed release and what a masquerade

Think of it a secret engagement look your future bride

Just think of it

But why's a secret? what have we to hide?

Please let not fight wait 'till the time is right

Christine you're free

When will that be? it's an engagement not a crime

Christine what are you afraid of?

Let's not argue please pretend let's not argue

I can only hope

I'll understand in time you will understand in time

Masquerade paper faces on parade masquerade

Hide your face so the world will never find you

Masquerade every face a different shade

Masquerade look around

There's another mask behind you

Masquerade burning glances turning heads masquerade

Stop and stare at the sea of smiles around you

Masquerade grinning yellows spinning reds

Masquerade take your fill let the spectacle astound you

Why so silent good Messieurs? did you think that I had left you for good?

Have you missed me good Messieurs?

I have written you an opera

Here I bring the finished score

Don Juan triumphant

I advise you to comply my instructions should be clear

Remember there are worse things than a shattered chandelier

Your chains are still mine you wil sing for me
