Lyrics Masquerade - Symphony X

Masquerade

Shackled in darkness — the forbidden portrait confined to
It’s frame
Unbroken silence — a total misfortune and shame
Ragin obsession — this mask of oppression, it hides your
Agression from view
This tearing suture renounces the love he once knew
Your sacrifice this paradise of innocence
Trust the lie — you falsify the line of truth
You disguise your insolence
Don’t deny insanity — mediocrity
Save us from this masquerade of lies
Kings and fools die in ridicule (save us)
Save us from this masquerade of lies
A fallen fortress sees him beneath starless skies
Subsiding deeper — the final farewell in his eyes
Unspoken hero — distrusted and thrusted within surmise
Seizing intrusion to unveil his clever disguise
Your sacrifice this paradise of innocence
Trust the lie — you falsify the line of truth
Save us from this masquerade of lies
Kings and fools die in ridicule (save us)
Save us from this masquerade of lies
Save us from this masquerade of lies
Kings and fools die in ridicule (save us)
Save us from this masquerade of lies
