The Man Behind the Mask Lyrics

I have wandered through the barren drought of this no man’s desert land

Between the borders of these towering dunes I’ve built my kingdom in the sand

Buzzards circle overhead now my feathered flying friends

They have followed me for miles as I’ve tried to make amends

I stumble in the burning heat of the ever present sun

Through the valleys of forsaken lands my blistered feet succumb

Now I crawl upon my knees my hands pulling me along

As my mind begins to drift to a lonely desert song

I’m the man behind the mask

I’m the final drop at the bottom of the flask

I’m the man behind the mask

Fading fast

There’s a river flowing through my head but I cannot find the source

There’s a pain erupting deep inside and it’s taking me off course

I see off in the distance an oasis full of dreams

But I have wandered through this wasted land and followed different streams

I’m the man behind the mask

I’m the final drop at the bottom of the flask

I’m the man behind the mask

Fading fast

The mirage it seems much closer

Than it ever has before

But by instinct with an outstretched hand

I slowly closed the door

The facade is growing thicker

And now even I believe

There’s a highway in the desert

And I have been deceived

I’m the man behind the mask

I’m the final drop at the bottom of the flask

I’m the man behind the mask

Fading fast

And I’m the man behind the mask
