The Human Masquerade 歌詞

You think you see the true self Hiding within us all You think you see through the shell The all resisting wall Daring judgement of others Aiming to be all seeing The masks we wear forever Are our inner fleeing Believe not all you see The masks can be delusive As blind as you can be Your reason is abusive Maiming one's own identity To see yourself in others Assume the humanity And kill that hate that bothers But still, I cannot judge you For the questions you might ask For I do not know your name Though I can see through your mask Wrapped in filthy skin You perform the masquerade Emptiness dances within To the hate filled serenade Your eyes cannot see through the foul flesh The decimation of your souls left undressed The lies hiding within your selfish shell The human pride, their dearest living hell You cannot see the true self The real face of each You cannot see through the shell With all the hate you preach Stare at yourself in the mirror See hate's devouring strike Feeding upon the terror Of what I might look like But still, I cannot judge you For the questions you might ask For I do not know your name Though I can see through your mask Wrapped in filthy skin You perform the masquerade Emptiness dances within To the hate filled serenade And still, you cannot judge me For the respect I might ask For you might know my name Yet, all you see is my mask Wrapped in human skin I shan't live the masquerade I shall never tune in To the hate filled serenade Your eyes cannot see through the foul flesh The decimation of your souls left undressed The lies hiding within your selfish shell The human pride, their dearest living hell
