Behind the Mask

lyrics

[Verse 1] Pale Hiding under porcelain

He never went away

Stiff jaw

Sharp breath

Cold hands on a silver cane

Moving like a shadow

Walking through the garden gate

Nobody knows

Nobody sees the fire

Heavy boots

Black leather

Red ribbon tied tight

[Chorus] Behind the mask

He is so alive

He is so alive

Behind the mask

He is so alive

He is so alive

Alright

Alright

He is so alive

[Post-Chorus] Yeah

He is so alive

Yeah

He is so alive

Alright

[Verse 2] Dust

Settling on the velvet

Wipe it clean

Look deep

Into the hollow eyes

A heart still hammering against the cage

Flesh and bone

Blood and sweat

I saw him blink

I saw him stand

I saw him run

Running past the statues

Breaking all the mirrors now

He is back

[Chorus] Behind the mask

He is so alive

He is so alive

Behind the mask

He is so alive

He is so alive

Alright

Alright

He is so alive

[Post-Chorus] Yeah

He is so alive

Yeah

He is so alive

Alright

[Bridge] The drums are calling

The brass is screaming

The cellos are weeping

One step

Two steps

Three steps

Forward

He is breathing

He is watching

He is waiting

Alright

[Guitar Solo] [Chorus] Behind the mask

He is so alive

He is so alive

Behind the mask

He is so alive

He is

fade out
