Songtext zu 'The Human Masquerade' von Theriomorphic

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
