SINGER: Symphony X

SONG: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
[solo]
Save us from this masquerade of lies
kings and fools die in ridicule (save us)
save us from this masquerade of lies
