anup sastry - beneath the mask lyrics
now i wake with another face
wounds seeping blood run down a pale complexion as i wonder
how i made such a mess of things
struggling to recall a glimmer of a memory
so i lay in this shallow grave
with only vengeance to inspire me to live again
my disgrace has a peculiar name
choking on noxious fumes, no more suffering in vain
i will restore what you took from me
reality is whatever i claim
now my story unfolds
k!lling for practice is more attractive now that i have no soul
smile as i play this role
use my creation to plague the nation until i have control
father, what have you done to me?
lost in the shadow of the creature that you want me to be
father, when will you set me free?
is there a limit to the depths of my insanity?
now i wake with another face
wounds seeping blood run down a pale complexion as i wonder
how i’ll make my betrayers pay
struggling to recall a reason for humanity
my dismay shall inspire pain
you beg for mercy but instead i bring you agony
poisoning every breath you take
stealing your life away, just like what you did to me
i open my eyes and see a light
one that can never be reached
for as soon as i’m ready embrace the sun
the black night swallows me whole
i am held captive by the darkness inside of me
father, now are you proud of me?
i only reap destruction to honor your memory
father, i feel your cold embrace
losing myself under the blanket of your tragedy
fate has selected me to be the k!lling joke, the harbinger of irony
they have underestimated me. so i’ll just wait til you’re asleep
don’t you dare fall asleep
your torment makes me brand new
as i siphon all the life from you
the city weeps as i undo
everything that you thought you knew
