Hey, look around: filthy walls, rusty chains, think is it your aim. Run away but outside you will find the same. Curse the world curse the fate, may be soon you will understand That the searches are true only when you've found the end.
Chorus: Cruelty and anger are weaving the blaze, Death will find you here right at the dawn. Crowd have come to quench the craving for chase, They will lost their reason, yelling "Go on!" Is there any difference evil or good. Every day of life makes harder to know. No one wants to die if they only could. Tell me who will stop it who will say "No!"
You can't return to this usual world having felt soothing whisper of death. Evil and good two sworn foes stopped their hard endless fight to be servants of yours.
Here in your yard lights and shouts, strongest heat is burning the skies. Find the rage find the death. Just find in these eyes That you've hurt their faith and they thirst for blood and revenge. Broken door, bound hands, you can pray but nothing can change.
Chorus.
Everything's wrong - they are laughing at you All these so-called friends with their hearts full of cold. Like a nightmare but you'll never wake up. They won't let you breathe won't release their hold.
Trying to find something kind in these eyes. You've been the fool, the innocent lamb. Here is the mask, that will bury your fear, Just put it on and become one of them.
Chorus: Stop it please Cause your laugh is killing me. All my pain is in this drops falling down the flour From the wound on my veins. Tell me why we can't live in harmony, Why can't you take off this mask and I always see it instead of your face. This mask instead of your face, Always instead of your face.
We can't return and we won't live with this, I'm trying to flee but my steps are so slow. Now it's too late and your laugh's everywhere, It's loud, it's painful, it's ripping my soul.
Please go away but I won't let you to. I've lost my mind and feelings are mess. Nothing can change there is only one way To find the mask that will cover my face.
Chorus: Stop it please Cause your love is killing me. All my pain is in this drops falling down the flour From the wound on my veins. Tell me why we can't live in harmony, Why can't you take off this mask and I always see it instead of your face. Feeling the laughter of the... Hearing the laughter of the Mask.
Night. He is looking at the sky - There is nothing but loneliness. Our world of love and pain Is lost in the endless space. He is ready to release And fly extremely far To the fears of unknown To comfort the falling star.
Chorus: Days and nights're passing by With no foes and no friends. Now it's gone but the past Was a chain on his hands. Through the hatred of gods He will learn who they are... But he still wants to be Like a falling star.
Day. Body's eaten up with glow This is lonesome and arduous way, Drowning in the silent air He's tempted to kneel and pray. There's no strength to bear the dream And hope's streaked with bleeding cuts. He just wants to run away And hide in the shade of gods.
He's known since it all began That one day the dream will fade away. But while the star is calling he believes That his path will never turn off.
Chorus: Days and nights're passing by With no foes and no friends. Now it's gone but the past Was a chain on his hands. Through the hatred of gods He will learn who they are... But he still wants to be Like a fallen star.
Every morning he struggles through the fire, through the wind, Not to be unforgotten, not to fight and not to win, Just to bear the sunlight and to start another day, To destroy hateful darkness, split it with the shining ray.
Chorus: But at the end of a day Memories are bursting into his head. Dawn brings nothing, but pain They won't forgive it, he won't forget.
Sacrifice innocent blood, Trying to heal this greedy crowd. More! Much more! No one will say Who are you now, saint or insane.
Every morning he suffers from the sorrow, from the screams - Newborn world at the sunrise's not so lightful, as it seems. All nightlong rave and madness - doubts tear the soul apart, He can stop, but he'll never fill the void in his heart.
