The Masque
10:20
|
|||
Way out East beyond the desert
A place of science so secure
A secret source of dark diseases
The deadliest of plagues
Concealed
For which there is no cure
The deepest fear spread by the twisted
A biological disgrace
A simple vial of vilest liquid
A virus with potential
To wipe out the human race
Feed the Masque
Feel the Masque
Can't heal The Masque
Feel the Masque
Feed the Masque
Can't heal The Masque
Fear The Masque
Feed the Masque
Feel the Masque
Can't heal The Masque
Feel the Masque
Feed the Masque
Can't heal The Masque
Fear The Masque
A darkened flame that draws defilers
Falsifiers of their faith
With evil thoughts of deep desires
Pandora's box reveals a world
consumed with walking wraiths
A simple touch will spread the terror
A mother's kiss extends the plague
We can't ignore the rabid victims
A seething horde of humans all
Consumed by fearful rage
Feed the Masque
Feel the Masque
Can't heal The Masque
Feel the Masque
Feed the Masque
Can't heal The Masque
Fear The Masque
Feed the Masque

Can't heal The Masque

Breeding
Chances are receding
That we'll all get out of this alive
Knowing
Just what we are sowing
Is our only chance to survive
Do we know what we're releasing?
Do we really know the threat?
Will we see another summer
Or will it bring humanity it's
Coldest winter yet?
Can we bear to glimpse this future?
Do we dare to set it loose?
Will anyone survive the demon?
The clawing grip won't let us slip
This dark pandemic's noose
Feed the Masque
Feel the Masque
Can't heal The Masque
Feel the Masque
Feed the Masque
Can't heal The Masque

The things you do
Need no applause
You've messed with mine
I'll mess with yours
You fly false flags
To feed your cause
You've scratched my back
Now I'll scratch yours
You seem immune
From deeds you do
But we are here
To answer you
Why should your victims
Sleep in silence any more?
We'll stop you
Messing with our lives
Again!
---
We die for your
Financial gain
But by your greed
You will be slain
From one small spark
There comes a flame
You'll wish you'd never
Staked your claim
You seem immune
From deeds you do
But we are here
To answer you
Why should your victims
Suffer violence any more?
We'll stop you
Messing with our lives
Again!
(Instrumental)
The nightmare banging
At your door
Will be a fate
You can't ignore
The scratch will be
An open sore
You'll beg till
You can beg no more
You seem immune
From deeds you do
But we are here
To answer you
The fear we spread
Will rock you to your very core
We'll stop you
Messing with our lives
Again!

And as the morning comes
The bed is so cold next to me
And as the sun breaks through
I know now where I'm meant to be
Whatever life may bring
I'm ready when I am with you
Whatever bitter sting
I know that we'll get through
And so the daily drag
Slips silently back into view
My shoulders start to sag
It's ten more hours till I see you
The one thing that keeps me alive
And keeps all my stresses at bay
The thought of seeing you
At the end of the day
The daily drudgery
Descends like the rain from the sky
But nothing comes between
The love of you and I
Another meeting comes
One hur that's closer to you
Another coffee cup
My feelings come back into view
(Instrumental)
And through the afternoon
My thoughts slowly wander away
That you'll be home at last
To help keep my demons at bay
And as the evening comes
My heart slowly fills up with glee
And I will tell you soon
Just what you mean to me
And now the night descends
My thoughts stray to being with you
I set of in my car
I know now where my road leads to
And when I see your face
The feeling will come back to me
That warm and lovely place
A heart that's soon set free
Normality

Infectious

|

And when I see
The love
That you feel for me
Your love is infectious
As I hold you so close to me
Our love is there for all to see
Now that you're here
I...can feel you near
A feeling only we can share
And as we touch
Eye to eye in a sudden state of bliss
I never knew I could feel like this
Never knew I could feel….
As our hearts beat and pulse in time
When we're alone
You melt my heart of stone
Its... so good to feel you there
And as we touch
The honesty becomes too much
Hearts and minds
Our souls entwined
Never knew I could feel….
(Instrumental)
You're the life blood that flows inside me
My heart is open and
You hold the key
Oh , you hold the key
And if you ever leave
Oh... I could never love again
(Instrumental)
Now when you see
The love that you give to me
My love is infectious
And when we see
The love that was meant to be
Our love is infectious
As I hold you close to me
Now when we feel
Our souls' perfect harmony
Our love is infectious
Our love is infectious to me
Our love is infectious to me
Our love is infectious to me

Contagion
08:57
|
|||
And as the future now lies beckoning
Creation's final curtain call
A dreadful fate a simple reckoning
The fear awaits us all
And as we wait within our cosiness
A sourness permeates the air
A dark so deep in its unholiness
The Masque remains to meet us there
Contagion...Filling up our hearts and minds
Watch the ape man on the wall
About to take his final fall
All the women, All the men
Will never see the light again
Contagion...The future's bleak for all mankind
Up the hill the people went
Gone to flee the Masque's torment
Now observe as they fall down
Watch the Masque destroy their crown
As our race starts turning one by one
Into creatures so obscene
No longer can we see the boundaries
Of where [once] our gods had been
And the twilight we're all dreading
Descends upon us, everyone
The scales of life and death are tipping
The bitter end has now begun
Contagion…We thought our future was assured
Watch the ape man on the wall
About to take his final fall
All the women, All the men
Will never see the light again
Contagion…Now it seems we can't be sure
Up the hill the people went
Gone to flee the Masque's torment
Now observe as they fall down
Watch the Masque destroy their crown
Instrumental
Contagion…Feel it seeping in your soul
Watch the ape man on the wall
About to take his final fall
All the women, All the men
Will never see the light again
Contagion…As the bell begins to toll
Up the hill the people went
Gone to flee the Masque's torment
Now observe as they fall down
Watch the Masque destroy their crown
Contagion…See us as we all fall down
Watch the ape man on the wall
About to take his final fall
All the women, All the men
Will never see the light again
Contagion…Watch the Masque destroy our crown
Up the hill the people went
Gone to flee the Masque's torment
Now observe as they fall down
Watch the Masque destroy their crown

Now You're Gone
03:14
|

The spiteful, clawing hands of fate
They bring me here now it's too late
I look upon your peaceful face
Now you're gone
A million words of love unsaid
The future fills me now with dread
A thousand fears swirl round my head
Now you're gone
We used to dream of moments that we were to share
Now gazing down on you it seems so unfair
I never ever realised
I had the best, the golden prize
Your face still holds its pale disguise
Now you're gone
The stillness of your golden hair
A losing no one can repair
The spark of life in one so fair
Is now gone
We dreamed of love so deep to build our world upon
No longer do I .have the strength to carry on

Now that you're taken away from me
You're no longer here
How can I live without your love?
Through the coming years
[Instrumental]
The last words you spoke still live with me
Like a child's prayer
The winter will come and the cold winds blow
I just need you there
You've turned my world upside down
Now I've lost you
So man left unsaid
For me and you
You've turned my world upside down
Now I've lost you
The very heart of me
Is ripped in two
[Instrumental]
Your memories comfort me
Though I am so alone
I remember the very first minute
When I met you
The look in your eyes at that moment
Will see me through
You've turned my world upside down
Now I've lost you
The longing remains inside
For me and you
You've turned my world upside down
Now I've lost you
The very heart of me
Is ripped in two
[Instrumental]
You've turned my world upside down
Now I've lost you
So many words left unsaid
For me and you
You've turned my world upside down
Now I've lost you
The very heart of me
Is ripped in two
You've turned my world upside down
Now I've lost you
The longing remains inside
For me and you
You've turned my world upside down
Now I've lost you
I know somehow
I must get through
Though you may be gone
I'll kiss you in my dreams
Though you may be gone
I'll kiss you in my dreams

Outta My Head
04:08
|

All the sights I've seen
Burn and sear an image in my head
Of a darkened place
A hell on Earth filled by the walking dead
Writhing casualties
Fight the plague in a hidden war
All these sights I've seen
Unleash my demons through an inner door
As the fear awakens
Nightmares prosper
Crippling my soul
All the images
Filter in
To fill the gaping hole
Every tragedy
Is haunting me
Buried in my mind
I search in vain
For sacred solace
That I will not find
The phantoms come
And rend my being
Opening the cage
A hellish suffering
Head is aching
with a fiery rage
No going back
The ghouls devouring everything inside
Can't do anything
I'm really, really in this for the ride
I'm Outta my Head
I'm Outta my Head
I'm Outta my Head

Whatever guides the hand of fate
Has reached us now it's far too late
The Masque devours our planet
Circling below
And all the men of science
Have no answers
None can find a cure
The dying of the human species
Is at hand
The future's now obscure
And in the corners of my mind
Images with clouded meanings
May God have mercy on
The creatures left behind
Whatever future beckons
We are stranded
High above the Earth
Unable to prevent the end of
The place that gave us birth
Paying witness to the final moments
Wreaking havoc
With our mortal souls
The winning of this final battle's
Beyond our reach
And out of our control
And in the corners of my mind
Images with solid formings
The nightmare's taking shape
From which we cannot wake
And as we orbit out in space
The remnants of a frail, failing race
The questions raise and beg for answers…
What once was pure becomes unclean
So many dreadful sights should stay unseen
But they are only adding to
The visions in my head
I don't know what our end will be
But we're the last with destiny
The only humans left behind
The city lights dim one by one
The very towns where we came from
Are fighting a losing battle
Consumed by rabid rage
We ignored all the hidden warnings
A non-conforming
Hateful war was waged
The reapings of a bitter harvest
The end drawing near
We left it too late
It's sealed our fate.
And in the corners of my mind
Images of anguished endings
I hear the battle raging
Isolation
knocks me to the floor
The solace of a safe conclusion
I know I will not find
It's much too la-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-ate
