Final Masquerade is the eleventh track and third single from Linkin Park's sixth studio album The Hunting Party. It was released on June 17, 2014 through Warner Bros. and Machine Shop Recordings.

Composition

Final Masquerade may be the only legitimate soft song of the album but it still manages to keep that agressive sound like the others. It's a great display of Chester Bennington's vocal range, followed by air keyboard synths and slowly building to a great instrumental part, giving way to a vocal breakdown of the song's chorus and elevating to a stadium anthem as Chester sings the song's chorus one last time.

Lyrics

Tearing me apart
With the words you wouldn't say
And suddenly tomorrow's
A moment washed away
'Cause I don't have a reason
And you don't have the time
But we both keep on waiting
For something we won't find

The light on the horizon
Was brighter yesterday
With shadows floating over
The scars begin to fade
We said it was forever
But then it slipped away
Standing at the end of
The final masquerade

The final masquerade

All I ever wanted
The secrets that you keep
All you ever wanted
The truth I couldn't speak
'Cause I can't see forgiveness
And you don't see the crime
And we both keep on waiting
For what we left behind

The light on the horizon
Was brighter yesterday
Shadows floating over
The scars begin to fade
We said it was forever
But then it slipped away
Standing at the end of
The final masquerade

The final masquerade
The final masquerade
Standing at the end of
The final masquerade

The light on the horizon
Was brighter yesterday
Shadows floating over
The scars begin to fade
We said it was forever
But then it slipped away
Standing at the end of
The final masquerade

Standing at the end of
The final masquerade

Standing at the end of
The final masquerade

The final masquerade
