Testo di 'The Masquerade' di Black Tongue

As you get older your gaze is fixed over your shoulder, because if life has taught you one thing: you won't see the knife that is coming
Everyone wears a mask and the mouth is always smiling; it is impossible to tell if they're laughing or crying
It's in our nature to lie - constantly raising walls, now our hearts forever shrouded, leading only to pain and our minds always clouded
It's in our nature to lie

When it happens, I hope you cannot breathe and I hope that the walls close in
And if by chance there is a heart in you... Well I hope it bleeds
Blood flows as you grieve, spilling over your hands and rising up to your knees
You can't stop it. I hope you panic
And you know that it will never cease
(Drown in a sea of misery)

Nothing is sacred, an eye for an eye
There is none righteous
It's in our nature to lie

Depravity: it's a mother chalking lines while her child is in the womb and the father making use of the son that hasn't bloomed
An entire race crippled by subconscious masquerade and the voice that's in your head screaming to get away
Get away

Show me where it hurts; I fucking hope it's everywhere
Tell me how you feel, because I feel nothing
Neither love nor lying, neither form nor void
The regret before dying?
No. Nothing

Blood flows as you grieve, spilling over your hands and rising up to your knees
You can't stop it. I hope you panic
And you know that it will never cease
Drown in a sea of misery

Nothing is sacred, an eye for an eye
There is none righteous
It's in our nature to lie

Everyone wears a mask and the mouth is always smiling; it is impossible to tell if they're laughing or crying
It's in our nature to lie - constantly raising walls, now our hearts forever shrouded,
leading only to pain and our minds always clouded
It's in our nature to lie
