Masquerade

Here’s a ballad from Sarala about the sensuousness of a woman, ready to unmask and take revenge, in Different Truths.

Don’t take me for granted 
She swayed her curvaceous body 
Among the crowded audience 
Teasing the young and old alike 
With her touch, they were waiting for 
Her sensual pouting lips 
They dreamt of kissing 
But she leaves them in a jiffy!
I am a girl with a purpose hiding 
behind my fake smile 
heart burning of vengeance 
want to extinguish the fire 
burning in me for some time 
seeing my kith and kin killed 
by the terrorists one by one!
My goal is revenge, only revenge 
taking revenge on the killers of 
my loved ones!
I will do anything to achieve my goal
My sexy looks and the ravishing 
smile is just a mask!
I am burning behind my mask!
Take off my mask and you 
will see the real me burning
like a blazing forest!
I am dancing to get them all 
excited and they will come 
near me to have fun with me
unaware of my innermost intentions, 
the reason for my sexy dress and smile!
Yes, I want to take revenge 
on those who killed all my 
loved ones destroying my life! 
Come and be my lovers 
I will take off my mask 
and you will see the real me 
burning inside, a blazing forest!
