Near to dawn the performers awake,
performing the characters they fake.
Life of the opera is such as seem,
time passes by with every blink.

At the backstage they removed their masks,
return to life to put on another one.
Life is full of deception and man in mask,
there's no way to have complete trust.

Trust in friends and trust in love,
for these are the purest, like the dove.
Be most prepared to step outside,
and show the world what's true inside.

"Life is 1% preparation and 99% presentation."
