Masquerade

Who can know? Who can see,
What hides behind those masks?
I'll never know, who you are,
In this masquerade.

Is it too much, to ask your name?
Or would you hide that as well?
Alright then, farewell to you,
I do not know your name.

Hello, yes you, may I ask your name?
No? Must everyone keep it a secret?
Very well, I can see your games,
You think it best to hide,
So I'll leave you alone, to play this masquerade.

Now why I came, I do not know,
I cannot hide behind this mask for long,
Please, will you tell me, how can you remain a secret?
Have you not, just once, let your mask down?
Have you never said your name?
I must insist, good sir, to know, why you play this game?
It does not look like fun to me,
Excuse me, but I cannot see,
Why you choose this game to play,
Will you leave it a mystery?

Will no one answer me, this one thing?
Fine, but do not expect me to stand by,
I'll not be a part of the masquerade,
Where no one shows their faces,
I do not like to hide.

Now look at me, I'll remove my mask,
For I do not care to hide my face,
My name, though, I will leave a secret,
Since you do not tell me yours.

Farewell, oh masquerade,
Farewell, you faceless people,
I've played this game for far too long,
And I still don't understand it.

Good day to you, oh masquerade,
I won't remember you,
You have no faces,
So good day to you,
Oh people of this masquerade.
