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
