Intro: End on verse 1: When the last strip of light is dimming When the spotlight starts to fade If there's no tomorrow * You better live All of the roles that we played Hit your mark, push the walls, stretch the stage Oh, what a price that we paid My dearest nightmare, my conscience, the end Bridge: (Octave up, at least vocally if not on guitar) Unbelievable masquerade Never revealing your truth Deeper inside that mask you made Losing the face of you (Return to normal octave) X4 verse 2: Tell me what do you see in the last script Yeah it's a trip, what's it all for? If we are truly dancing our swan song, darling Shake it like never before All of the roles that we played Hit your mark, push the walls, stretch the stage Oh, what a price that we paid * My dearest nightmare, my conscience, the end Outro: * Oh what a price that we paid My dearest nightmare, my conscience, the end.
