And if then my life is just created If the theatre of my days must stop Can I leave behind the roles I've acted Can I leave behind the masks and forge ahead To live again to feel free Without choosing to want to please you and to betray everything The curtain falls the play is finished this very day Who is hidden behind the mask I've taken off? To have to learn again; to live in the unknown The rules are changed; the game is not the same From mis-matched costumes I sew again the least Repairing who I am but who I do not know To live again to feel free Without choosing to want to please you and to betray everything The curtain falls the play is finished this very day Who is hidden behind the mask I've taken off? After impressions and illusions I see myself at last In the mirror I see what this old wreck looks like I see it born again, restored, to take the air The curtain rises the mask falls And who I feared to look for now appears To discover who I am, I've abandoned my disguises All the armour I'd learnt to always wear I never look backwards any more I've let the mask fall, far behind
