Masquerade — Symphony X

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
