(Incognito)
The man behind the mask
(Incognito)
At the masquerade`s board?
(Incognito)
Can you see through his disguise?
(Incognito)
Is he a friend of yours
(Incognito)
The man behind the mask
(Incognito)
A face you can`t conceal?
(Incognito)
I can see through your disguise
Standing in the dark
Hidden in the crowd
(Incognito)
Trying to see your face
Chasing shadows through
(Incognito)
