Vicious rumors shake the truth out of my existence
The plague of desperate hope sticking to my spawning thoughts
The arrogance of intellect devoured by reality checks...
All the outcomes I've predicted...
None have found the here and now. Anyhow...
The thread's been cut, my hubris shut. Lessons to be learned...
Stare and see - the face of the madman!
More than a mask in a play misunderstood
Applaud the scene!
So brilliantly staged as in life itself
No flaw! I believed it...
Well deceived - the curse of the scared man
The twitching dance to desperation's tune
Crawling down on me - the tears of the sad man
Force-fed insight, that nothing is immune
Ovations for the thespian!
Of utmost importance!
Waving to the blazing light of the afterlife...
As doubtful eyes give lie to the tongue
Like a wicked song about to be sung
I peel off the bleeding mask to reveal whats underneath
Howling of agony! For the false grimace has grown on me
Suddenly sane! Rid of pain! Epiphany that struck me way too late!
Empty are the seats...
No one there to see
Oh the blazing light...
No one left but me
Slowly risen from the bleakest depths
The seeker has found what he needed to find
But the very implication of fulfilling fears
Are worse to him than being torn to pieces
Torn to pieces!
Stare and see - the fate of the mad man!
More than a task in a life misunderstood
Down on his knees with the eyes of a dead man
Tapping rock bottom for the shards of what was good
Ovations for the thespian!
Of utmost importance!
Waving to the blazing light of the afterlife...
Towards the blazing light!
