[English]

LALALALALA

Knock knock, let everyone in

A fluttering feeling, an invitation

Moonlight invites you to a different world, want to jump in? Yeah

Peel off the persona (Let's do it)

Look, there's a you that you don't even know—wake up now

Who’s really behind the mask? Yeah

Don't wanna turn my back (pop pop pop)

I don’t know how they’ll react (pop pop pop)

Yeah, now they’ve got a new vendetta

I won’t let it slide—you should run and

Hide

The echo resounds — the song of devilish angels

Capturing hearts with a daring smile

In the midnight MAZQUERADE

LALALALALA

Ooh, you heard about it, bring on the freak show

A stage woven with love and madness

In the midnight MAZQUERADE

Alright, alright—cut through your common sense with one swipe

Joking that you're already full? No way

Slow down? No need

A lifetime—we won't stop

Delivering the endless dreams beyond imagination, no explanations needed—just us magicians with microphones

Soar through the sky (wao wao)

Breathing fire from our mouths (oh no)

If you recognize who’s here, raise your hand and freeze

Don't wanna turn your back (pop pop pop)

I don't know how they'll react (pop pop pop)

Yeah, now they have a new grudge

I won't let it slide—you should run and

Hide

The echo resounds—song of devilish angels

Captivating hearts with a daring smile

In the midnight MAZQUERADE

LALALALALA

Ooh, you heard about it, bring on the freak show

A stage woven with love and madness

In the midnight MAZQUERADE

LALALALALA

Come and get it—abandon reason

LALALALALA

Masquerading, we're going up

In the unending dream, repeating ups and downs

Let’s keep playing in Wonderland

We never stop, never quit

If you want to enjoy it, this short life

No time to worry

Why so serious?

Don’t be afraid, come with me to MAZQUERADE

Dance in the dark, take my hand or you’ll have to run and

Hide

The echo resounds—song of devilish angels

Captivating hearts with a daring smile

In the midnight MAZQUERADE

LALALALALA

Ooh, you heard about it, bring on the freak show

A stage woven with love and madness

In the midnight MAZQUERADE
