Come enter the masquerade

As the head guest of this foul charade

Before the crowd you appear

Clothed in white for you they cheer

The crown sacrifice

To appease the gods

The chosen one, goat without horns

A mockery of the crown of thorns

All eyes on you, just play your part

From this earth you'll soon depart

Follow the path, don't break the norm

Do not stifle the trance of the swarm

Around the altar the obscured elders stand

Behind one mask a river of tears is shed

You wear the veil of pretense to hide the aching core

The pain will not kill you, it will make you whole

Tear it off or die
