Masks and Monsters
Welcome to the ball
The masquerade of mayhem
We wear these monstrous masks
To hide our faces
So you can't find our true intentions
Can you see through the guise
Of all our false pretenses
Do you like all the lies
Told right to your face
Or can you not tell
Beneath the mask we hide
We are all monsters
The ones told in bed time stories
From under your bed to your head
Come to life in front of your very eyes
We're your own worst enemy
The thing that hides under your bed
The monster in your closet
You can't hide from us
You malicious sons of bitches
We are the people united
Mask to mask we'll stand in they're way
Oppose your tyranny , we won't take your ****
We don't want to live in a desolate wasteland
You're the monster we hide our faces from
The fiend we fear, bringer of the end of days
You think your all powerful but what you don't realize
Is that you get your power from the people
You rain your bombs on us
Spy on us
Invade our homes and minds
This dance is coming to an end
Who will win?
Beneath the mask we hide
We are all monsters
The ones told in bed time stories
From under your bed to your head
Come to life in front of your very eyes
We're your own worst enemy
The thing that hides under your bed
The monster in your closet
You can't hide from us
You malicious sons of bitches
You call us terrorists, face the facts
You're all liars and thieves
Give back what you've taken
We protest them because they disgust us
We are the front lines
The ones who stand up for what believe in
Truth seekers!
You are the one that's going to take the fall
Lie to us! Lie to us!
We won't believe, we're awake
I am not a sheep and I won't be herded like one!
From a puppet who thinks hes a wolf!
Beneath the mask we hide
We are all monsters
the ones told in bed time stories
From under your bed to your head
Come to life in front of your very eyes
