When the shadows appear I feel a touch from the dead I open my eyes into a new world of fear My soul is caressed by the hands of the unblessed Falling into silence In flames I lay to rest
Seduced by the one who enthroned my inner self Behind the mask The torment was waiting to prevail The mourning, the screams The pleasure was to curse The one who slept in grace
In plagues they raise their arms To be embraced by the spirits That bring them endless nights
I see the water reflect a human face A blind man's acts I practice I walk around in sleep But the truth is hidden Melancholic winds are blowing with a prophecy
Behind the mask There's a face of evil Something that was meant to be Behind the mask there's a creature in pain Searching for the light To be released from torment
Hiding from myself Hiding from eternal hatred Impossible to flee Dark is my eternity Once so plain and beautiful Despair has cursed the face The flames have spawned my dark impurity
Disgrace from the world below has occurred The oath was sworn to me But the one behind the mask Is blessed by death and heresy
I'll see them fall Obedience to the mask is all Fools they will remain My wisdom tells they'll burn in pain The serpent has seduced me once Like Eve I've tasted the unknown Forbidden fruits: a cursed proposal Of the one behind the mask
The joyful times have changed into an endless night The souls that fell are abandoning the light Now the hall of flames is their home No one will hear when the songs of repentance are sung
I close my eyes My mind is bright Released from ghosts of suicide Who'll care? In death we'll all unite
Behind the mask There's a face of evil Something that was meant to be Behind the mask there's a creature in pain Searching for the light To be released from torment
Hiding from myself Hiding from eternal hatred Impossible to flee Dark is my eternity Once so plain and beautiful Despair has cursed the face The flames have spawned my dark impurity
Through the nightmares and horrors I've walked alone Ever since the time I stepped down from my throne Luscious spirits tempt my soul Imprinted memories blind me when I moan
When the shadows appear I feel a touch from the dead I open my eyes into a new world of fear My soul is caressed by the hands of the unblessed Falling into silence In flames I lay to rest
\"Hoc est corpus meum This is my body, this is my flesh Hoc est corpus meum I present myself to thee Hoc est corpus meum This is my body, this is my flesh Hoc est corpus meum As a fallen entity\"
The time has come for you to see The secrets of your hollow soul It all turned out to be A monument of a faceless creature Anthems of an evil seed Something that will be eternal In this chaos and insanity
Through the nightmares and horrors I've walked alone Ever since the time I stepped down from my throne Luscious spirits tempt my soul Imprinted memories blind me when I moan
