Masquerade '98

by Symphony X· from Prelude to the Millennium

[Music and Lyrics: Romeo, Miller, Pinnela, Tyler, Rullo] Shackled in darkness - the forbidden portrait confined to it's frame Unbroken silence - a total misfortune and shame Raging obsession - this mask of oppression it hides your aggression 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 trusted 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
