• The masquerader flees, with lust for his desire
    Doesn't know she'll face the dire, consequences
    Turns to meet his face his, love glazed over eyes
    Reap her pleasure from his fancy
    She can't see he's not in sight

    Run my masquerader
    Run away my love
    You won't regret it later
    When love follows close behind

    The masquerader flees, with fear he won't stay behind her
    wants to turn around to his embrace, and end this little game
    Knows she should not, slows her pace, he's getting closer
    She turns to face his empty eyes, embrace this greater pain

    Run my masquerader
    Run away my love
    You won't regret it later
    When love follows close behind

    Don't cry when he doesn't follow
    Don't give up on love my dear
    You'll know a man's love's not hollow
    When as forever you run, his love runs along your side

    You turned, you gave in to impatience and desire

    And now you're running for your life.

    Run my masquerader
    Run away my love
    You won't regret it later
    When love follows close behind
