Brave New Hope Lyrics

MASQUERADE

I've got a friend who had a schoolboy dream
He wanted every luxury that money could bring
He fancied himself as a King of the castle
Impressing all the ladies with the size of his car
But none of them would have it
They left the morning after
As a giver of love he was a walking disaster

Who will ever know of this charade
Unless you tell us who you really are
How far will you go
Down a road that's paved with gold but takes away your soul

Come to masquerade
Keep your heart out of sight
You can be a winner
A master of disguise

Then one night he met a beautiful girl
She was a viable concern, he couldn't help thinking
But he ran out of small talk and started to panic
The comedy was turning into something tragic
Never mix business with pleasure
You can play them independently but never together

Who will ever know of this charade
Unless you tell us who you really are
How far will you go
Down a road that's paved with gold but takes away your soul

Come to masquerade
Keep your heart out of sight
You can be a winner
A master of disguise


COME TO HEAVEN Sitting forever, looking at heaven Wanting it so much A born worrier, you better wake up to your heart Or you'll break it, forsake it I can't stand by and let you ruin it We've come so far to be turned down now I'm on your side, I'm a friend To be certain isn't easy anyway Come to heaven I'm waiting, but tomorrow never comes Come to heaven Now or never, just take it Oh baby, you only have to try it once Wanting a miracle, getting too cynical Taking it too far I won't carry you You've got to find out for yourself Like I did, be decided I can't stand by and let you ruin it We've come so far to be turned down now I'm on your side, I'm your friend To be certain isn't easy anyway Come to heaven I'm waiting, but tomorrow never comes Come to heaven Now or never, just take it Oh baby you only have to try it once Now or never may be forever Only now we could be together No time for being clever Gonna stay with you whatever Let's embark on this endeavour Baby it's now or never Come to heaven Oh baby you only have to try it once
