Eclipse - The Masquerade Lyrics






Believers, deceivers
Turned into bitter cheaters
In fever
We are the stars of the masquerade

Between the good and evil
Between the day and night
We are caught in between what's wrong and right
We're blinded by the power
Blinded by the light
It's a long winding road out of the night

Once like thunder in the distance
The world is soon on fire
The beast inside is ready for another lie
So

Believers, deceivers
Turned into bitter cheaters
In fever
We are the stars of the masquerade
Believers, deceivers
Turned into bitter cheaters
In fever
We are the stars of the masquerade

We are, we are the stars of the masquerade!

Beyond the highest mountains
Beyond the desert plains
Far beyond where no love will remain
I tried to fight the fire
I tried to fight the pain
But the struggle has always been in vain

Now the thunder is upon us
The world is set on fire
The beast is getting ready for the final fight
So

Believers, deceivers
Turned into bitter cheaters
In fever
We are the stars of the masquerade
Believers, deceivers
Turned into bitter cheaters
In fever
We are the stars of the masquerade

We are, we are the stars of the masquerade!
...

  1. S.... ....

    Great Song, i Love it. Greetings from Germany :)

  4. c.... ....

    no way this can be played on Gretch hahaha

  5. f.... ....

    He told the greek metal hammer that he'd never heard of revolution renaissance and i believe him. He said that it is a very simple riff that he started playing when he bought a gibson guitar at a store. He also mentioned that he's ok if Tolkki uses 10 riffs of his own songs with Eclipse.

  6. S.... ....

    Almost the same melody as SABATONs ”Great war”, anyone else hearing it?

    S.... ....

    No, it's different, another riff, another drum and another bass-lines, the voice is totally different and in my opinion is different not similar. But it's my opinion.

  7. C.... ....

    Best song!

  8. T.... B....

  23. M.... ....

    The best part if this video is the blue light that illuminates the set.

  24. T.... M....

    Plagio de Revolution Renaissance... Todo el estribillo

  25. S.... ....

    could this track maybe used in the upcoming Vampire the masqurade video game bloodlines 2????
    these are guys are from Sweden and bloodlines is produced in Sweden by Paradox.... just a thought.... bloodlines is due to release soon

    S.... ....

    This is exactly why I clicked this video.

  26. D.... F....

    just to clarify riffs aren't technically copyrighted....that's like copyrighting a chord progression...lol it's the song in it's entirety. but mainly lyrics and the melody is what is copyrighted.

  27. D.... U....

    Looks like i wasn't the only one who thought that this is a Revolution Renaissance ripoff :-)

    D.... U....

    Which Timo ripped off from Angra's Rebirth ;)

  28. O.... F....

    Herregud, det är kanon!

  29. O.... V....

    Sounds like Stratovarius.

  30. R.... M....

    Un plagio de Revolution Renaissance y Rebirth de Angra

  31. P.... G....

    Great band! Keep rockin and do great music!!

  32. K.... ....

    Chorus' real lyrics: "Revolution, Revolution, Revolution Renaissance...." Hey Eclipse dudes, why not try to write your songs by yourselves?

    K.... ....

    Seems this is the only way Timo is aiming at making some money these days.... this is a very basic and common chords progression in hard rock music.

  33. P.... H....

    Copia so não faz igual

  34. L.... ....

    Stratovarius Ripoff!

  35. �.... A....

    Hey fuck you plagiarists! Pay Timo Tolkki for stealing his song you pieces of shit

  36. A.... G....

    Que música lindaaa

    A.... G....

    Es un plagio de una canción de Angra y una de Timo Tolkki

  37. J.... M....

    Timo tolkki e o maior!

  38. t.... t....

    GEMA Lawyers are on the case-.

    t.... t....

    Don´t mess woth these guys, they´re amazing and no one is gonna get confused with your song. Don´t worry, Can you imagine Led zeppelin, Purple, Rainbow, Whitesnake and many others calling their lawyers every 6 months? Come on, this is R&R: Live and let live

  39. r.... ....

    TIMO TOLKI - REVOLUTION REINASENCE... cover or plagiarism ????

    r.... ....

    @Drcrashbandicoot I can agree there's a certain similarity in the music, because it is a very common chords progression, with a different tempo... But from that, to claiming that ALSO the lyrics... OMG! Eclipse have proven that they can produce KICKING ASS tunes by themselves, not needing Tolkki's talent. By the way, I didnt hear Timo saying anything about the similaties of his Revolution Reinassance song with Angra's Rebirth, when he released his song... can we say you ripped it off from Angra dearest Timo ;)

    r.... ....

    @Alex Pérez +10

    r.... ....

    Please notice that it has more views than the RR song in less than 2 months. stadistics never fail.

    r.... ....

    yeah I don't usually look into this stuff as much but DAMN they sound fucking identical. isn't even the same Key?

  40. �.... �....

    Timo Tolkki brought me here ;-)

  41. A.... L....

    Used to like the band, but to agree to play a song so similar to Timo Tolkki's song
    is bad

  42. G.... ....

    Cheaters

  43. S.... A....

    ο κλέψας του κλέψαντος...

  44. V.... M....

    Oh, comon this is complete and total copycat on Timo Tolkki's Revolution Renaissance...

    V.... M....

    @David LoGo and I didn't hear Angra moaning when Timo's tune appeared years later than Angra's Rebirth... He's just playing the angry child in my opinion, because it's the only way he can get some attention lately.

    V.... M....

    @Alex Pérez totally agreed. In fact, Timo is well known to talk dirty about other musicians, even their own bandmates to get some extra attention. Eclipse doesn't deserve this at all. They are on the top of European rock bands, that's the reason why Timo is annoying, talk is cheap

    V.... M....

    @David LoGo I fully agree with you again... Even if Timo was right (which as I've stated previously, it is NOT the case) eclipse are CONSTANTLY giving birth to AMAZING albums, completely filled with INCREDIBLE songs... I haven't heard any other band doing this over and over during the last years. Even if "The Masquerade" hasn't been included in Paradigm, the album would have been the same EPIC: 10/10. They do NOT have the need of "ripping" someone off because their inspiration and catalog of AMAZING song has no limits. Timo can be a good guitar player, that I do not deny, but he would KILL to write masterpieces like Eclipse's. And as you well bring to scene, he has well earned his reputation ;)

    V.... M....

    @Alex Pérez fucking agreed!

  45. Y.... I....

    Great Timo Tolkki Song!

  46. y.... ....

    music: Timo Tolkki

    y.... ....

    And Rebirth - Angra

  47. A.... K....

    nice cover to Timo Tolkki

  48. A.... S....

    Revolution Renaissance

  49. S.... M....

    Now that’s what we call a banger!🤘🤘

  50. P.... L....

    I can think of at least 3 songs you are ripping off🙄. The most obvious being Revolution Renaissance

  51. F.... �....

    REVOLUTION RENAISSANCE, PART 2

  52. H.... ....

    Мне больше Powerwolf напомнили вначале.. но вокал сильнейший. В общем отнюдь нерядовая песня среди новоявленных.

  53. I.... ....

    Revolution renaissance with Kiske is very similar

    I.... ....

    Funny you say that, Timo has come out saying this is a rip off

    I.... ....

    @Mad Priest he has right

  54. t.... s....

    fantastic

  55. C.... S....

    Big up!

  56. A.... O....

  60. M.... S....

    Good song 👍

  61. S.... G....

    Cool song!!!

  62. B.... I....

    Sorry,but 92 people are idiots and know shit about good music!

    B.... I....

    BAZ INGA I totally agree.

  63. K.... K....

    Souds like Erik Grönvall in the band called Heat is singing, and they look alike as well.

  64. M.... ....

    Order Ogan likes this tune 😂🙈

    M.... ....

    Oh wow, I KNEW that chorus sounded familiar, and when I read this comment I was like "oohhh, thats it!".

  65. G.... R....

    Timo Tolki Song?? 🤔

    G.... R....

    haha Apparently he thinks so as well and says it's a rip off!

  66. W.... P....

    Revolution Renaissance

  67. t.... t....

    This is a blatant rip off of my song Revolution Renaissance. Copyright Infridgemnt claim has been done toe GEMA Germany. Timo Tolkki

  68. B.... C....

    What a great voice :o

  69. M.... 6....

    Great stuff.. Three thumbs up.

  70. G.... V....

    R.... G....

    We be there....

    R.... G....

    We coming ...love this band.

    R.... G....

    In my dreams... wish they would tour the U.S.A. 🇺🇸

  74. e.... ....

    SABATON - Great War

  75. F.... M....

    I don't think it was their will but the chorus is Stratovarius "soul of a vagabond". However,I buy the album of course. Great Eclipse.

  76. R.... w....

    Great.
    Come on, guys.
    🎸🎸🎸

  77. F.... B....

    Something on this song reminds me Avalon by Gamma Ray...

    F.... B....

    I just listened to Avalon and, honestly, didn't hear any similarities

  78. D.... K....

    Ihr seid Jung
    Ihr seid gut
    Und ihr habt Zukunft 🤟👍

  79. w.... ....

    Are these the new upcoming hair bands of today ...😆😆😆

  80. J.... K....

    To me they sound like a cross between a Scandinavian Symphonic band and the vanilla rock that is plastered all over U.S. rock radio. Do I hate them? No. Do I like them? Kinda, but kinda not. Let's put it this way...if they came on the radio and the radio was right next to me I might change the station, but if they came on the radio and the radio wasn't within easy reach I would probably leave them on.

    J.... K....

    Their prev 3 albums are nore edgy than this

  81. K.... ....

    Once u listened epic death metal, this kinda music is so boring and dull. also i cant take the singer seriously.

    K.... ....

    What's wrong with him?

  82. E.... R....

    ow excelente !!!

  83. y.... ....

    We want more...

  84. A.... O....

    I thought it was Erick Grownwall

  85. A.... O....

    Extrem geil..... Kenne ich gar nicht, Hammer gut....

  86. J.... A....

    I like this new song.. but I think the same..chorus looks revolution reinasaence..

  87. P.... M....

    Someone is gonna be very angry......hello Timo Tolkki

  88. S.... L....

    Man this lead singer's look just doesn't fit with this band,grow ya hair young man and get a tee shirt on or something

    S.... L....

    He has...it says "Bathory" and you don't get much more old school metal than that

    S.... L....

    His hair is receding.... Letting it grow would look kinda dumb

  89. K.... F....

    Am I the only one who things the beginning sounds exactly like Orden Ogan´s "FEVER" ?

    K.... F....

    You are not the only one, it really is similliar

    K.... F....

    Very much so

    K.... F....

    I even think it is like Nightfall by Xandora ( I must be deaf).

    K.... F....

    Karin Fechner it is similar

    K.... F....

    Listen to the song “Revolution Renaissance”.

  90. n.... ....

    Supeeer,mazec,paráda

  91. E.... P....

    Du très bon sur Y.T.

  92. F.... R....

    GREAT SONG AND GREAT BAND !!!!!!

  93. �.... �....

    заебись

  94. B.... Z....

    Such a great song and band.

  95. D.... P....

    The song is excellent but I can't help thinking that the chorus reminds me a little of Stratovarius's soul of a Vagabond

    D.... P....

    Revolution Renaissance - Revolution Renaissance by Timo Tolkki

  96. �.... �....

    kicking ass song, thank you guys!

  97. D.... W....

    the lick at 3:12-3:16 is<3

  98. G.... T....

    That's rather a turn to melodic heavy metal - I like and approve :)
