Cain's Offering - Morpheus In A Masquerade lyrics

One more night, one more before I shall wither and die Grant me just one more life, one more, I need it to make this thing right The more that I gave the less I received, it's all for them and none for me I am unworthy to be sacrificed, I'm such a tragic comic Doing the dance and singing the songs I'm Morpheus in a masquerade The orchard of sins I have held deep within I will burn down for you One more night for me to turn into what I've portrayed Call me by my true name one more time, one more before it's too late It's not their ovations that I so adore, it's your shrine I kneel before You were my beginning and you'll be my end, my lover and my friend There in the dark you have always been wailing Waiting for me to return back home Hold on to me when the ballroom has emptied Last cadence faded Dark is the road that now lies before me Twisting the path to that empty house where Evil lurks in every darkened room just waiting for you Liars and the martyrs, I've got dreams to auction Devil can you hear me, I've got souls to sell Sinner or a saint - for me it's all the same I have grown so tired of this masquerade My ray of hope, where are you now when I need you the most You are the child of love, and you are all I've been longing for Let your morning fail upon me, let the nighttime fade away Bestow on me forgiveness and let me live for another day On this ground I've made my bed, and in it I will lay Born at evenfall, now old and gray I'm Morpheus please dance with me, as always you can take the lead and Guide me through the waltz of life, sailing through the seas of night I'm Morpheus please caress me, hold my heart too weak to beat For I'm not sure I want to see what you're going to show to me tonight A silhouette of a broken man standing by the shoreline He turns around and I can see it's me Standing where the ocean touched the sand This little boy has grown to be a man, let me be the best I can Take me where the clouds caress the horizon Where all I'll hear is whisper of the wind A mothers womb, a soothing song once more And the star I used to wish upon, so long ago One moment, unbroken, my heart will be wide open For someone, for no one, cast to the wind my ashes Here I stand, naked and ashamed, I've been stripped down to the bone The emperors new clothes that no one here can see, yet no one cares to say But it's good enough for me, abandoned and forsaken by my Imaginary friends They all leave me alone so I can I doubt my existence For in the end I don't even know who I am I've shifted shape so many times I've forgotten which one's mine So sick and tired of being sick and tired My quest for immortality has made me so much more human that I ever wished to be My love, save me
