Mask of Sanity Lyrics


I have seen vivid visions

Through dreams in the mind's eye

Fantasy drives me closer

The passion and the lust to murder

Watch her cry, see her die

I can see the fear in her eyes

By my hand I will take her life

The craving I have from deep inside

The hunger, the pain for their blood

I have to kill, it's the only way

In the day, I'm a man of society

No one knows the monster I am

If they only knew the other side of me

Smiles would turn to cries

And be my victim in the night

They will fear my icy grip so bold

No more tears, for the dead cry no more

Just another day in life tucked away

This bloodthirst to kill, my lambs to slay

I can feel my mask of sanity slipping

In a cold sweat, mind and body become numb

Now crying eyes are watching over me

They are onto me, nowhere else to go

Darker and darker my sins become

I taste the blood of filthy whores

In a closet the bodies hang to dust and decay

And sometimes I ponder, Am I really insane?

Through the streets the chase is on

They are coming for me

On the run, nowhere to hide, they will find me

From exhaustion my sight turns to black

Sleep takes me

The next day all is fine

Was I dreaming?
