Pageant of light
In the ballroom
Pictures around
Their smooth faces luring me
Come with; us don't be afraid
This ball is being held for you

Illusion of brightness
Because happiness lurks in the shadow
I look inside; don't know why I feel it there
Don't want to come back to the ball/banquet

chorus:
Mine is the night and the dream
For just a moment right before the dawn
Under my eyelids are born
Moments and words that I recognise
Open wings of gates to paradise
Essence of happiness in my dream-
A gentle whisper: look after me

I tear the pictures; shatter the mirrors
Because they distort
Because they contort
I create an illusion that is hollow

Delusion of brightness
That they make my own world
Freedom of colours, no boundaries
So I could do whatever I want
