Once again with face anew, something stirring starts to brew
Without meaning or his will, a new mask comes and tries to fill
That emptiness and stone cold heart, that once before he had fought
To thaw and love with other mask, to pour out feeling from the flask
Keep the embers once lit there, but refroze with winter’s care
It grew and flew and he let it soar, even higher than before
So welcomed the false embrace, that so very well hid his face
He gave it life and even more, he let it dream and himself snore
He once swore no more false faces, in different times at different places
His past still hung and haunted him, came back at times with it’s own whim
New pain inside swelled to the top, but too late it was to stop
Best still lie and help those he could, the pain his own as it should
Best he only hurt himself this time, and never let them know his crime
The truth can set you free they say, but what of the pain it brings that way
To those he helped and listened well, their trust and secretes did they tell
To him they thought they knew as friend, things he’ll keep until his end
~The Demonic Angel
This truth shall never see the light, to keep this lie only right
Lock the pain deep down inside, behind this mask his face does hide
Each mask a life he does give, and every one he will let live
The role he plays of fool and king, in each one some truth doth ring
He puts the little he has left to each, to fortify and withstand breach
The armor worn to hide what’s real, through the life of masks he’ll feel
Even though he knows it’s wrong, with the lie he will go on
The pain will be to him alone, no where else will it take home
All the seeds will sow within, making his will grow thin
The cat in him continues, each mask that brakes one life it loses
Act one or two or is this three, soon the curtain fall there’ll be
Guilt and heartache evermore, each new mask just like before
How much can one mind take, before the man will break
An evil smile cross the lip, some day the truth he’ll slip
The devil’s darkness lays within, as does a child free of sin
Nothing is as pure or cruel, than the mind of a child in devil’s rule
~Damned to Paradise
