Let me go
I don't wanna be your hero
I don't wanna be a big man
Just wanna fight like everyone else
Your masquerade
I don't…
…with everyone else
Your masquerade
I don't wanna be a part of your parade
Everyone deserves a chance to
Walk with everyone else…

…strange cry
When i'm gone all i want to know
All i fear it lies deep behind your masquerade
Won't you ever show your real face…
Cannot see what you hide behind your masquerade
You're the lust that sealed my fate
She's the power that keeps me still alive
Risin…
…to know
All i fear it lies deep behind your masquerade
Won't you ever show your real face
Cannot see what you hide behind your masquerade…

Both eyes fixed on a darkening sky
Harder I try, larger my prize
Faster I fly, faster I fall
Bare faced in your masquerade ball…
…fall
I remain bare faced in your masquerade ball
[Verse 3]
I speak with the same tongue them old poets spoke…
Faster I fly, faster I fall
Bare faced in your masquerade ball
Bare faced in the masquerade
Both eyes fixed on a darkening sky
Harder…

The vows you took just to line up
Finally we meet again
Thought your masquerade dispels?
We're all damn strong
To face the fraud against…

And we'll debate
The vows you took just to line up
Finally we meet again
Thought your masquerade dispels?

We're all damn strong
To face the fraud against our rights
Finally we meet again
Thought your masquerade dispels?
We're all damn strong to face
The fraud our rights!…

…whatever I'll fight my way
I would never be in your masquerade
I will never break down
I'm never gonna break down!
Against all…
…will never break down
You can say whatever I'll fight my way
I would never be in your masquerade
I will never break down
I'm never gonna…
…can say whatever I'll fight my way
I would never be in your masquerade
I will never break down
I'm never gonna break…

…that together we could fly
Until I started scratching at the surface and I saw beyond your masquerade
Your body is an illness
Temples…
…is my darkness
You had me convinced that together we could fly
Until I started scratching at the surface and I saw beyond your…
…could fly
Until I started scratching at the surface and I saw beyond your masquerade
Your body is an illness and I'm sickened by the thought of you
I may never be the same again, I may never be the same again…

…that I used to fuck
Lest we learn, the tables turn
So I'm betting out, I'm betting out
You can be the prey in your masquerade…

Love is making you blind
For love is your own disguise
Your masquerade
Love seems to hide
Love will hide your face
You…
…are fading your soul
Into a life of your own
Your masquerade of love seems to hide
Love will hide your face
Whenever you…
And take it all out
Love me more, and see me
The mask is taking over your life
Your masquerade
Love and feel me
The masquerade is fading your life…

…will be saving
I'll kill your masquerade
And prove you all so wrong
Even if I'm not behaving
Like the one who will be saving
I'll…
…kill your masquerade
And prove you all so wrong
Too strong... so wrong
Open the gate to delight
Don't believe in me
'Cause I never…
…kill your masquerade
And prove you all so wrong
Too strong... so wrong
Open the gate to delight
Soon the light will shine forever…

…a tyrant to dethronе
As life's pendulum sways
Don't bring it down with your masquerade

Denying your fiction

No question
No denying
Your intentions
Misguided
Embracing
False hope
Defacing
What you loathe
[Chorus]
Tales of the past are set in stone
Create a tyrant to dethrone
As life's pendulum sways
Don't bring it down with your masquerade…
