Man Behind the Mask Lyrics


Behind the mask hides a broken man

He just stares in the sun

He's trying to get a sense of what it feels like

But he's the only one

Pray for assassination, hiding from the exploitation

But the blade never comes

Trapped in a prison of endless torture

When will his time be done

Flashing back to the final moment

You tried so hard to forget

The war is over but now you're under

It's like you never left

The cries of agony and evil deeds of savagery

That keep you under control

Held in the grips of a pain you'll never know

Counting down your days

It's written in your face

Nothing left to save

The guilt shall never pass

Man behind the mask

They say the eyes are the bridge to the soul

But that not right

As they betray you unveil the truth

That dwells in your mind

Go

When the mind has been divided

There's no one you can trust

One tries to run and the other to kill

It's like your burning up

Is this a premonition or a paranoid delusion

How can he ever know

Gotta find a way outta this living hell

Counting down your days

It's written in your face

Nothing left to save

Man behind the mask

Counting down your days

It's written in your face

Can you feel it slipping away

The guilt shall never pass

Man behind the mask
