Lyrics
In which a mask is applied not only shielding the ugliness
The loneliness weaving wonders Left me alone as daydawn came The birdcry's timbre seemed like thunder - to spit on me - it was the lark
And on these daybreaks of my life Kept closed my eyes for seconds more When dreams freeflow the bending mind Of all the grief and fear be gone
And on these daybreaks of your life Just close your eyes and live within Oh let them flow and bend your mind Try to believe the fear is gone
Start piercing me you wicked ghosts! Your voices sneak from red-rubbed lips! Those tangling whispers - want to soothe me But start what I've never dared to speak of
As slowly as I dropped the cape - the slumber sweet as velvet fell - I saw the smiling face of a day That blew away my ease at once
Not love not happiness I dreamed of No hope for this so rotten live? How can I tame? how can I hide This twisted me I cannot fight?
Not love not happieness you dreamed of Lose hope for your so rotten live You cannot tame, just try to hide It's you - it's me - you try to hide!
Start piercing me you wicked ghosts! Your voices sneak from red-rubbed lips! Those tangling whispers - want to sooth me But start what I've never dared to speak of
"Goodbye to eric" I heard my screams And hoped that echos would reload in me And strengthen me for this inhumanizing task I got up and applied a mask of velvet black - square as the one it hosts
"Goodbye to eric the human-faced - Shall he be known through the mask he wears" "Shall fear be forever repelled by the ways We'll walk; and we'll melt into the face Of all bodies and ever for all I'll become: Be gone now eric - be gone - be gone"
