[Verse 1]
You said I shouldn't have gone
I don't know, I went ahead on anyway
Nighttime wore to dawn
I found my free will had gone away from me

[Chorus]
Behind the masks that pass for faces
Hours are lost in forbidden places

[Verse 2]
Nowhere for me to run
Not that I feel like running anywhere anyway
Some things are clear at night
Then become confusing in the light of day

[Chorus]
Within the darkness, behind the faces
Pioneers of forbidden places

[Verse 3]
Something I wouldn't have thought
Crept up from behind me, now it's here to stay
Too real, although it's not
Couldn't have possibly been avoided anyway
[Chorus]
The crazy landscapes behind the faces
Holding back the forbidden places

[Bridge]
Abolished music, lost for ages
The living words of forbidden pages
Though dust has gathered on honest feeling
Forbidden truths through twilight stealing

[Chorus]
And in the eyes of the listless faces
Glisten hints of forbidden places
