The Masquerade şarkı sözleri

Thunder crowns the silence A feast for shallow plates What can we do to slow down The madness of deadlines? Time bleeds on the outside Life screams from within News falls down like mourning rain On a world drowning in grief The Sun is buried In toxic clouds Empty roads With no light to be found Faith denies The soul runs dry And bodies burn together Under a collapsing sky Is there life before death? Or do we run without breath? Is there life before death? Or do we only pretend to wake? Behind the masks we wear Beneath the storm we face Is there life before death? Or just survival in its place? Fingers like blind serpents Hollow to the bone Crawling, thirsty, desperate For the everlasting thing That thing That thing Now everything is a great show That thing That thing A shining void with an empty soul The Sun is buried In toxic clouds Empty roads With no light to be found Faith denies The soul runs dry And bodies burn together Under a collapsing sky Is there life before death? Or do we run without breath? Is there life before death? Or do we only pretend to wake? Behind the masks we wear Beneath the storm we face Is there life before death? Or just survival in its place? I fear the dive into darkness I fear what it will cost Every lifeboat takes a soul From everyone already lost And here I ask myself While the world forgets to breathe If we are still alive Why do we never feel free? Shallow plates Poison rain Blind serpents Dead faith Naked flames Bodies fall The masquerade Consumes us all Is there life before death? Or do we run without breath? Is there life before death? Or do we only pretend to wake? Behind the masks we wear Beneath the storm we face Is there life before death? Or just survival in its place? Thunder crowns the silence And I try to breathe Is there life before death?
