Masque Lyrics by Vircolac

Masque

0

Hidden, lying behind a stone effigy
A snake in human form
Venal in its being
Devotee of a cursed craft

The mask betrays the devil in the detail
A reptilian if we may
Hidden is the lie but is spoken as if truth
Cleave with spite, smashed idols
Greatest sanity is assured before the fall

Slavish loyalty to an empire of dust
An impure hatred baths in an abject lust

Abominations, pestilent rats run
Cascading towards the setting sun
Palaces bejeweled, bone in stone
Tethered by sinews of flesh

Abominations, pestilent rats run
Cascading towards the setting sun

Eyes lift to see obsequious venality
And knows that a blade must thrust
To remove that masque for eternity

Eyes lift to see cast low to trample under foot
A mocking indifference to the bearers of nobility
Perpetual scorn to be rid of all
And yet like an acorn comes a great oak tall
