[00:04.35]Masquerade! Paper faces on parade ...
[00:09.55]Masquerade! Hide your face, so the world will never find you!
[00:16.35]Masquerade! Every face a different shade ...
[00:21.56]Masquerade! Look around - there's another mask behind you!
[00:27.61]Flash of mauve, splash of puce ...
[00:29.26]Fool and king, ghoul and ghost ...
[00:31.01]Green and black, queen and priest ...
[00:32.61]Trace of rouge, face of beast ...
[00:34.81]Faces ... take your turn, take a ride
[00:37.76]on the merry-go-round ... in an inhuman race ...
[00:42.36]Eye of gold, thigh of blue ...
[00:43.96]True is false, who is who?
[00:45.46]Curl of lip, swirl of gown ...
[00:46.81]Ace of hearts, face of clown ...
[00:48.86]Faces ... drink it in, drink it up,
[00:51.32]till you've drowned in the light ... in the sound ...
[00:54.37]But who can name the face ...
[00:56.22]Masquerade! Grinning yellows, spinning reds ...
[01:01.07]Masquerade! Take your fill - let the spectacle astound you!
[01:07.93]Masquerade! Burning glances, turning heads ...
[01:13.23]Masquerade! Stop and stare at the sea of smiles around you!
[01:18.48]Masquerade! Seething shadows, breathing lies ...
[01:25.53]Masquerade! You can fool and friend who ever knew you!
[01:32.39]Masquerade! Leering satyrs, peering eyes ...
[01:37.75]Masquerade! Run and hide - but a face will still pursue you!
[01:44.15]What a night!
[01:44.80]What a crowd!
[01:45.65]Makes you glad!
[01:46.50]Makes you proud!
[01:47.65]All the creme de la creme!
[01:49.15]Watching us watching them!
[01:50.55]And all our fears are in the past!
[01:52.05]Six months ...
[01:52.90]Of relief!
[01:53.50]Of delight!
[01:54.15]Of Elysian peace!
[01:57.06]And we can breathe at last!
[01:58.35]No more notes!
[01:59.06]No more ghosts!
[01:59.85]Here's a health!
[02:00.60]Here's a toast: to a prosperous year!
[02:02.56]To the new chandelier!
[02:04.15]And may its splendour never fade!

[02:10.81]And what a masquerade!
[02:12.66]Think of it! A secret engagement!
[02:15.81]Look - your future bride! Just think of it!
[02:20.41]But why is it secret? What have we to hide?
[02:25.16]Please, let's not fight ...
[02:26.51]Christine, you're free!
[02:27.21]Wait till the time is right ...
[02:28.66]When will you that be? It's an engagement, not a crime!
[02:31.07]Christine, What are you afraid of?
