Pandemonium - Behind The Mask lyrics
rate me<br />
[Lyrics: Ahlgren]<br />
<br />
When the shadows appear<br />
I feel a touch from the dead<br />
I open my eyes into a new world of fear<br />
My soul is caressed by the hands of the unblessed<br />
Falling into silence<br />
In flames I lay to rest<br />
<br />
Seduced by the one who enthroned my inner self<br />
Behind the mask<br />
The torment was waiting to prevail<br />
The mourning, the screams<br />
The pleasure was to curse<br />
The one who slept in grace<br />
<br />
In plagues they raise their arms<br />
To be embraced by the spirits<br />
That bring them endless nights<br />
<br />
I see the water reflect a human face<br />
A blind man's acts I practice<br />
I walk around in sleep<br />
But the truth is hidden<br />
Melancholic winds are blowing with a prophecy<br />
<br />
Behind the mask<br />
There's a face of evil<br />
Something that was meant to be<br />
Behind the mask there's a creature in pain<br />
Searching for the light<br />
To be released from torment<br />
<br />
Hiding from myself<br />
Hiding from eternal hatred<br />
Impossible to flee<br />
Dark is my eternity<br />
Once so plain and beautiful<br />
Despair has cursed the face<br />
The flames have spawned my dark impurity<br />
<br />
Disgrace from the world below has occurred<br />
The oath was sworn to me<br />
But the one behind the mask<br />
Is blessed by death and heresy<br />
<br />
I'll see them fall<br />
Obedience to the mask is all<br />
Fools they will remain<br />
My wisdom tells they'll burn in pain<br />
The serpent has seduced me once<br />
Like Eve I've tasted the unknown<br />
Forbidden fruits: a cursed proposal<br />
Of the one behind the mask<br />
<br />
The joyful times have changed into an endless night<br />
The souls that fell are abandoning the light<br />
Now the hall of flames is their home<br />
No one will hear when the songs of repentance are sung<br />
<br />
I close my eyes<br />
My mind is bright<br />
Released from ghosts of suicide<br />
Who'll care?<br />
In death we'll all unite<br />
<br />
Behind the mask<br />
There's a face of evil<br />
Something that was meant to be<br />
Behind the mask there's a creature in pain<br />
Searching for the light<br />
To be released from torment<br />
<br />
Hiding from myself<br />
Hiding from eternal hatred<br />
Impossible to flee<br />
Dark is my eternity<br />
Once so plain and beautiful<br />
Despair has cursed the face<br />
The flames have spawned my dark impurity<br />
<br />
Through the nightmares and horrors I've walked alone<br />
Ever since the time I stepped down from my throne<br />
Luscious spirits tempt my soul<br />
Imprinted memories blind me when I moan<br />
<br />
When the shadows appear<br />
I feel a touch from the dead<br />
I open my eyes into a new world of fear<br />
My soul is caressed by the hands of the unblessed<br />
Falling into silence<br />
In flames I lay to rest<br />
<br />
"Hoc est corpus meum<br />
This is my body, this is my flesh<br />
Hoc est corpus meum<br />
I present myself to thee<br />
Hoc est corpus meum<br />
This is my body, this is my flesh<br />
Hoc est corpus meum<br />
As a fallen entity"<br />
<br />
The time has come for you to see<br />
The secrets of your hollow soul<br />
It all turned out to be<br />
A monument of a faceless creature<br />
Anthems of an evil seed<br />
Something that will be eternal<br />
In this chaos and insanity<br />
<br />
Through the nightmares and horrors I've walked alone<br />
Ever since the time I stepped down from my throne<br />
Luscious spirits tempt my soul<br />
Imprinted memories blind me when I moan
<br />
