The Masquerade Lyrics by Black Tongue

The Unconquerable Dark

0

As you get older your gaze is fixed over your shoulder
Because if life has taught you one thing
You won't see the knife that is coming
Everyone wears a mask and the mouth is always smiling
It is impossible to tell if they're laughing or crying
It's in our nature to lie
Constantly raising walls, now our hearts forever shrouded
Leading only to pain and our minds always clouded
It's in our nature to lie
When it happens, I hope you cannot breathe
And I hope that the walls close in
And if by chance there is a heart in you
Well I hope it bleeds
Blood flows as you grieve, spilling over your hands
And rising up to your knees
You can't stop it
I hope you panic
And you know that it will never cease
(Drown in a sea of misery)
Nothing is sacred, an eye for an eye
There is none righteous
It's in our nature to lie
Depravity: It's a mother chalking lines while her child is in the womb
And the father making use of the son that hasn't bloomed
An entire race crippled by subconscious masquerade
And the voice that's in your head screaming to get away
Get away
Show me where it hurts; I fucking hope it's everywhere
Tell me how you feel, because I feel nothing
Neither love nor lying, neither form nor void
The regret before dying?
No, nothing
Blood flows as you grieve, spilling over your hands
And rising up to your knees
You can't stop it
I hope you panic
And you know that it will never cease
(Drown in a sea of misery)
Nothing is sacred, an eye for an eye
There is none righteous
It's in our nature to lie
Everyone wears a mask and the mouth is always smiling
It is impossible to tell if they're laughing or crying
It's in our nature to lie
Constantly raising walls, now our hearts forever shrouded
Leading only to pain and our minds always clouded
It's in our nature to lie
