Break Us Free

Break Us Free
We wear our masks
We're hiding
It's a lie
Just deceit
Performing our masquerade
Seeking your immaculate perception
We're caught in stern emotions
And cry our crocodile tears
Hiding what we feel
Buried in a cemetery
Only one last glance at light
As the door closes
Forever and for always
As everyone around us begins to fade
Should we stand to meet our heroes?
Who with great honour we follow behind
Or do we slip into the velvet shadows
And wait for all to pass us by
We stand towards the centre
It's a swirl of colour
Movement and energy
As the couples dance
An eddy of cloth that tears around the room
Crimson, silver, black
All the gowns blur beneath the midnight moon
Slowly waning
Yet the black smudges from the soul remain
As yet more wolves howl in the night outside
And as the night ages
We dare to start our dance
We parade the shadows
Now that it's time to march
Time to tend the fire
And melt what's in our hearts
To break us of our stony binding
And in so doing break us
Break us free
And dark eyes take in the room
Reflecting the chasm of our forgotten souls
Black onyx orbs searching
But then everything is still
An ethereal salute
United and unveiled
To divulge our secrets
Giving our oaths to the skies
Time to parade
Time to march
And we ask you to break us
And cast us free
Just ghosts of a forsaken town
A silver smear
On the map
For we stand with our masks adorning our grim faces
Watching silently
The night and world pass us by
And so fall into shadows
Now that it is time to end
The facade we pretend
Can truly exist beyond all childish games
It must now collapse
As we break us
Fading to black
Die in darkness
Until we get the light back
