Masquerade by Tension Rising Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Deliver your message
Deliver your truth
Few greater goods
Will come forth from you
White knuckle devices
So dark, so divisive
Destruction abound
Don't care whose around

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Save yourself
Don't lecture me
It's old news
Means nothing to me
Fire-starter
Appointed martyr
The rage ensues
Means nothing to you

[Chorus]
Tales of the past are set in stone
Create a tyrant to dethronе
As life's pendulum sways
Don't bring it down with your masquerade
[Verse 2]
Denying your fiction
Denying your lies
Dividing the people
Left all our hands tied
Violence inciting
So painful, so thriving
When one problem ends
Another begins

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Freedoms
Don't come free
I feel the anger
You're throwing at me
But rest assured
There's no war
You're fighting for
That will endure

[Chorus]
Tales of the past are set in stone
Create a tyrant to dethrone
As life's pendulum sways
Don't bring it down with your masquerade
[Bridge]
I won't let fear get in my way
Don't tread on me I'm here to stay

[Pre-Chorus 3]
No question
No denying
Your intentions
Misguided
Embracing
False hope
Defacing
What you loathe

[Chorus]
Tales of the past are set in stone
Create a tyrant to dethrone
As life's pendulum sways
Don't bring it down with your masquerade
