Silence
Bear witness to creation
Of a new world order
Purge yourself of your fragile virtues
Be steeped in the sludge of conformity
Embrace the stench of your primal desires
Wear this masque of a new generation, every ounce of your Will shall be broken
You goddamn fools have squandered your time
Unimagined in your feeble minds
We’ll watch you burn in the fires
Self-destruction is your only salvation
Wretched demons descend to feed on the free willed
And innocent
The Masques have come to enslave
You will be saved by the Masquerade
She walks this path and serpents she’ll adorn
The thorns grow sharp as the hand draws near
Fear envelopes your withering body
Crippling your soul as your purpose becomes clear
You’re nothing but a fucking puppet
A flesh covered marionette
You shall be saved by The Masquerade
Be one with us and you shall be reborn
Don’t relinquish yourself to the ancients, these wolves in sheep’s clothing
Do not be deceived by the conductors of this hell bound symphony
Hell bound symphony

How does it feel in your own skin
Blood dripping from your pores
As we dig in to flesh and bone
Depression sinks in as you begin to lose feeling
A prison built to suppress you in every way
Do you wish to be popular
Vanity seeks to rip you to shreds
Individuality slips through your hands
You may as already be fucking dead!
Don’t listen
Don’t give in to the deception
We will remake you darling
All your sickening dreams will become true
You’ll be martyred for a generation of hypocrisy
Torn asunder as your hopes slowly turn
To obscurity
The girl will fade away
Will you give in to the urges
Will you prosper under our indoctrination
Our claws dig in as we consume you whole
You’ve become our pawn you whimsical
Little slut
Don’t you dare turn away from us
We’ve found ourselves a delectable new toy
She thought she’d be free
Our wrath and the rape of this dying world is only thing that she will see
Fuck your faith
Fuck your false messiah
Fuck your faith
Fuck your false messiah
Your salvation has come at last

You've fallen prey, your heart grows colder
As you give into the ways of the fraud
Divergent, this path you've chosen is fraught with dismay
Where is your heart
Where does it lie
Relinquish the hands of mortal men
Give unto the powers that bestow such confidence
Martyr yourself for a new generation
You lack the power to continue on
With free will you'll never succeed
Give yourself to me
No! Continue to fight this evil
these wolves in sheeps clothing
they seek to destroy the weak
And banish free thought forever
Fuck the collective
Fuck the need to fit in
You're better
Better than the fiction they've built
You know you're not alone
Give yourself to me
Rise! Face this crowed filled with fools
Let me be your muse, paint with such sweet desire
Nurture your hate
Your fire
Slit your fucking wrists
Bleed you fucking pigs
You’ve given up on yourself
Walk now into oblivion
Walk now into hell

Fed to the pigs
Leave your life as you march to the slaughter
Foul creatures breed malice and blame
Dance to the sickening sound of conform
Chained to this fucking social norm
Grasp at the fading remains of yourself
Disgusting fucking swine
Now there is no time
They dine on the frailty
As you choose this wretched path
Mindless beasts Waltz with fiendish desire
Devour everything, nothing left to admire
Amass this filthy breed, born to consume
Laughing in feast, heralding our fucking doom
As the squeals draw closer, forsake everything, join these goddamn monsters
Remove your masque, infecting your mind
This generation failed, it is now your time
Your time is now
Feel your will splinter
Give in
Feel your will splinter
Feel the bones crack under the pressure
As your strive to fit in
Shed your skin
Destroy your fragile identity
Join us now
Join us now
Mindless beasts Waltz with fiendish desire
Devour everything, nothing left to admire
Amass this filthy breed, born to consume
Laughing in feast, heralding our fucking doom
As the squeals draw closer, forsake everything, join these goddamn monsters
Remove your masque, infecting your mind
This generation failed, it is now your time.
Feel your will splinter
Feel the bones crack under the pressure
As your strive to fit in
Shed your skin
Destroy your fragile identity
Join us now
Join us now

Ripping, pulling, tearing at the flesh of your former self
Til’ there’s nothing left of you to recognize
Exonerate the face you wore while you came of age
To understand the falsehood of the masquerade
Break away from the masquerade
Child, you’ve come so far
You’ve took this task alone
And you have put a face to fear
This is far from over
Now you have to choose
Do you take the life
Take the life of acceptance
Or forever live with a life of regret
This is far from over
Now you have to choose
She will always come to me
May the dance persuade her
Feasting on her fragile will
You will not take her
Now leave her be
The influence is broken
She can see you’re nothing but demons
Cowering behind your fraudulent identities
Please, know your time
Lay down your masque
Forever The sirens sing songs of deceit
You know better
Child, you’ve come so far
You’ve took this task alone
And you have put a face to fear
This is far from over
Now you have to choose
Do you take the life
Take the life of acceptance
Or forever live with a life of regret
This is far from over
Now you have to choose
Don’t you fucking leave
You try to choke down
The ashes of the life you once knew
You’re broken
The girl you knew is gone
You try to choke down
The ashes of the life you once knew
You’re broken
The girl you knew is gone

Infinity, bring forth the eons
The Dance betrayed you
This place in time
A grand malevolant design
For the first time in your life you've sought acceptance
A carcass to vultures, the meat is ripped away
The lying demons dance is broken
Revoke them
The lingering evil, your sanity remains
We lived as slaves in their game to eradicate the freedoms
allowed by this world, witnessed by mankind
To purge yourselves of the sickness
Take off your masque and stay defiant
No fornication with the evils inside
Now we can rebuild what they have selfishly stolen away
No longer serving this reclusive collective
Free to choose a destiny
Not planned by the puppeteer
No Gods left to fear
We, we've reached our final curtain call
The show has come to an end, the masquerade is dead
Thoughts that lingered on internal
Reflection, Acceptance
We bow to our final dance
