Emmy Rossum Lyrics

*  Masquerade

[Andre (Spoken):] Monsieur Firmin! 

[Firmin:] Dear Andre, what a splendid party 
[Andre:] The prologue to a bright new year 
[Firmin:] Quite a night, I'm impressed 
[Andre:] Well, one does one's best 
[Both:] Here's to us 
[Andre:] The toast of all the city 
[Firmin:] What a pity that the Phantom can't be here! 

[Chorus:]
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-round 
In an inhuman race 
Eye of gold 
Thigh of blue 
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 
But who can name the face? 

Masquerade! 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 

[Madame Giry:] What a night! 
[Firmin:] What a crowd! 
[Andre:] Makes you glad 

[Firmin:] Makes you proud 
All the crème
De la crème

[Carlotta:] Watching us, watching them 
[Meg:] All our fears are in the past 
[Andre:] Three months 
[Piangi:] Of relief! 
[Carlotta:] Of delight! 
[Andre:] Of Elysian peace! 
[Firmin:] And we can breathe at last 
[Carlotta:] No more notes 
[Piangi:] No more ghosts 
[Carlotta:] Here's a health 
[Andre:] Here's a toast 
[Firmin:] To a prosperous year 
[Andre:] To our friends who are here 
[Piangi and Carlotta:] And may our splendor never fade! 
[Madame Giry:] What a change! 
[Firmin/Andre:] What a blessed release! 
[Madame Giry:] And what a masquerade 

[Christine:] Think of it 

[Christine (Spoken):]
A secret engagement 
Look, your future bride 
Just think of it 

[Raoul (Spoken):]
Why is it secret? What have we to hide? 
You promised me 

[Christine (Spoken):]
No, Raoul, please don't, they'll see 

[Raoul (Spoken):]
Well then let them see 
It's an engagement, not a crime 

[Raoul:] Christine, what are you afraid of? 

[Christine:] Let's not argue 
[Raoul:] Let's not argue 
[Christine:] Please pretend 
[Raoul:] I can only hope 
[Both:] You will/I'll understand in time 

[Chorus:]
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
