The Riddle (Scarlett Pimpernell)
Shauvelin
See the moon slink down in the sky, darling
Let your fantasies fly, darling
Life is cold, and the game is old
Marguerite
Just see how virtue repays you
You turn and someone betrays you
Betray him first and the game's reversed!
Together
For we all are caught in the middle
Of one long treacherous riddle
Can I trust you? Should you trust me too?
Shauvelin
We shamble on through this hell
Marguerite
Taking on more secrets to sell
Altogether
Till there comes a day when we sell our souls away!
Percy
Through the mist your lover is beckoning
Comes that moment of reckoning
Faces change, even smiles grow strange
Together
And we all have so many faces
The real self often erases
Enticing lies flicker through our eyes
Feel the terror draw ever nearer
The more you stare in the mirror
But hold your own
Face the wind alone
Shauvelin
Reel on, love! Toughen your scars
Year by year we're falling like stars
Till there comes a day when we sell our souls away!
Percy
Can I run to you? Are you true to me?
Shauvelin
I'll do unto you as you do to me!
Marguerite
And we slowly learn someone has to burn
Altogether
Better you than me!
Shauvelin
Oh, every Judas once loved a Jesus
Marguerite
But finally treason will seize us
Shauvelin
And only fools follow golden rules
Altogether
We all are caught in the middle
Of one long treacherous riddle
Of who trusts who, maybe I'll trust you
But can you trust me?
Wait and see!
