Here in the silence I sit on my throne
So many hours I spend alone
I hide myself from the world outside
I cover my face till it’s night

So many years far from the world
I shed my tears when darkness unfurled
I carry the weight of the world on my back
And still I am alone

Behind the mask there is a face you never see
Behind the mask there lives a man you never knew
Behind the mask lies an individual reality
Behind the mask I keep a secret so dark and true

I live in shadows, I hide from the day
So many hours I cry and pray
I live and die from the hands of fate
My life is a masquerade

So many years far from the world
I shed my tears when darkness unfurled
I carry the weight of the world on my back
And still I am alone

Behind the mask there is a face you never see
Behind the mask there lives a man you never knew
Behind the mask lies an individual reality
Behind the mask I keep a secret so dark and true

Behind the mask there is a face I never see
Behind the mask there lives a man I never knew
Behind the mask lies an individual reality
Behind the mask I keep a secret so dark and true
