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
