Sinner
Down in the old castle out in the swamps
Darkness drops all over the land
The clock strikes twelve
The midnight masked-ball ... is about to begin
[Chorus:]
Masquearde
Living in a masquerade
In the middle of all those people (people)
I couldn't believe what I saw
Cat's eyes behind a silver mask
She was the one ... I was searching for
[Chorus (2)]
With her eyes flashing she runs away
A stranger grabs me
He screams "Just wait and see"
But I found the girl, ripped off her silver mask
[Chorus (2)]
