The Perfect Mask

Verse 1

Narrow alleys of the city

Bloodline born from ancient grief and sin

He pulled a heavy trigger

King of ruins where the night begins

Pre-Chorus

Twelve rings out

Clock strikes twelve

Twelve rings out

Chorus

I am the Darkness

Born before the sun

I am the Darkness

Fear until the race is run

Host after host burning out

Wearing the crown and the mask

I am the Darkness

Post-Chorus

Oh

No

The blackness inside

Verse 2

Twin of light

Battle for the balance of the sky

Armor made of terror

Grows the serpents while the sinners die

Pre-Chorus

Clock strikes twelve

Hunger pulls

Twelve rings out

Chorus

I am the Darkness

Born before the sun

I am the Darkness

Fear until the race is run

Host after host burning out

Wearing the crown and the mask

I am the Darkness

Post-Chorus

Oh

No

The blackness inside

Bridge

He went to the pit

Saw the devil twice

Bought it back

Broken heart and a heavy price

Bring him back again

Over and over again

He never sleeps

Chorus

I am the Darkness

Born before the sun

I am the Darkness

Fear until the race is run

Host after host burning out

Wearing the crown and the mask

I am the Darkness

Post-Chorus

Oh

No

The blackness inside

Blackness inside

Darkness is home
