lyrics

Frightened by a dream
And a distant clap of thunder I awoke
And sought my 7 masks to give me shelter
Only to find them gone
And all at once I shook with the tremors
As the second water broke
Naked, like a book without a letter
A child by theft reborn
With black hole eyes to eat the sun
And feed upon this brave new dawn
Gone is my pale mask of shame
The meek face I so often wore
While you crushed my dreams of youth in your name
And nailed my broken wings to the floor
Gone are the safe masks of reason
Of sadness and joyous facade
Lost is the smooth face of treason
The deacon of my masquarade
Gone is my dark mask of hatred
Forged in the pits of hell
I only wish I knew before we parted
how to break its vicious spell
Listen to the tale
That this fallen king of liars wryly spoke
You've been made to wear
The chains and fetters
Of slaves by fear torn
With timid eyes, too weak for light
That gaze upon the starless night
