Behind The Mask Lyrics

Veiled in gold, lies a tale so bold

Etched in time, where his story unfolds

Battered and bruised and riddled with scars

Under beastly guise, lies beauty so marred

Behind the mask lies a man so tame

Riddled with tales forced upon his name

He didn't deserve his misfortunate plight

The exterior which caused the villagers' fright

A secret untold, a burden he bears

Haunted by whispers, and judgmental stares

A heart filled with ache, a longing for peace

But kindness he seeks, a chance to appease

Behind the mask lies a man so tame

Riddled with tales forced upon his name

He didn't deserve his misfortunate plight

The exterior which caused the villagers' fright

Whispers turn to fear, as shadows grow near

His golden disguise, a constant year after year

Longing for freedom, a life without blame

But the gilded mask fuels the whispers and shame

Behind the mask lies a man so tame

Riddled with tales forced upon his name

He didn't deserve his misfortunate plight

The exterior which caused the villagers' fright

Will the truth ignite, and set his spirit alight

It's up to you, sir, will you fight

Behind the mask, a man sheds his shame

The weight of the lie, no longer the same

He'll break free at last, from this gilded cage

And write a new story, on life's open page
