Story Behind The Song
We discovered the old multi-track reel-reels of the songs recorded in 1983-84 with pop/rock band HEROE. Dusted them off, re-mixed and re-mastered them as HEROE-Greatest Hits. Some fun slices of the '80's, including this song, "Masquerade."

Lyrics
MASQUERADE
(by HEROE)
I see you staring from your eyes of glass
A penny for your thoughts as we put on our masks
We hide so that nobody else can see
Inside are you hiding from me
Caught up in your masquerade
Porcelain smile emerald eyes
Love charade
Caught up in your masquerade
Caught up in your masquerade
I see your silhouette upon the stage
I try to read your thoughts but you've turned the page
Masked ball we shall all wear our veils 'til dawn
We fall bearing masks of the pawn
Caught up in your masquerade
Porcelain smile emerald eyes
Love charade
Caught up in your masquerade
Caught up in your masquerade
Show us some mercy
Take off that cursing mask and let us go
Give us a chance
The circumstances are beyond our control
As if my feelings could pantomime in a masquerade
You just gotta let go 'cuz the masquerade goes on
And the masquerade goes on
And on and on and on and on and on and on and on
We're hers and we're all going crazy
Prisoners oh won't somebody save me
Caught up in your masquerade
Porcelain smile emerald eyes
Love charade
Caught up in your masquerade
Porcelain smile emerald eyes
Love charade
Caught up in the masquerade
Caught up in the masquerade
