Symphony X - Masquerade '98 Lyrics






Shackled in darkness
The forbidden portrait confined to its frame
Unbroken silence
A total misfortune and shame

Raging obsession
This mask of opression
It hides your aggression from view
This tearing suture
Renounces the love he once knew

You sacrifice this paradise of innocence
Trust the lie - you falsify the line of truth
You disguise your insolence
Don't deny insanity - mediocrity

Save us from this masquerade of lies
Kings and fools die in ridicule (save us)
Save us from this masquerade of lies

A fallen fortress sees him beneath starless skies
Subsiding deeper - the final farewell in his eyes

Unspoken hero
Distrust and thrusted within surmise
Seizing intrusion to unveil his clever disguise

You sacrifice this paradise of innocence
Trust the lie - you falsify the line of truth

Save us from this masquerade of lies
Kings and fools die in ridicule (save us)
Save us from this masquerade of lies

[Solo]

Save us from this masquerade of lies
Kings and fools die in ridicule (save us)
Save us from this masquerade of lies

Symphony X Masquerade '98 Comments

    I'm totally gay for Russel, but I really feel like Rod's vocals had something more powetful. Here Russel feels like he is not putting enough power or something. Compare this to A Fool's Paradise for example and you can see that Russel is not at his best in this one. In general he has to be the best metal vocalist on earth, but Rod did it better in this one for me.

  2. Z.... J....

    기타솔로 진짜 미쳤다

  3. S.... ....

    4:05 shit gets fucking serious here, Romeo just absolutely tears!

  4. A.... G....

    Quien seran los 5 putos que colocaron 👎sordos mal cojidos seguramente

  5. A.... G....

    Una perlita mejorada..la formacion..con el maestro Thomas Miller...tiene que regresar este maestro del bajo..lo extrañamos...el otro gran lider de Symphony X

    A.... G....

    Antonio Ghelardi Para mí era quien le daba ese estilo a la banda; además que desde que se fue, el bajo no se aprecia tanto como ahora (sin menospreciar a Mike).

  6. F.... F....

    No doubt the prelude is a masterpiece. Unfortunately it's not the whole song. Yngwie's still closer to a classical composer.

  7. N.... E....

    Best MJR solo.

  8. O.... G....

    What are you comparing to what? They're both delicious. my feet were cut off and creepy as my bones. Immortal classic*****
