"Iron Mask" lyrics

These are the tools at hand
And this is what you came for
So rest your faith on some solemn note
When I give up on you it's not me being callous
Send me a letter, tell me how it's going
Just stay the fuck away from me, until you reach some understanding
I give up

The first one is the worst one
Took all I thought I ever had
Well, maybe it's supposed to hurt some, but I can face it knowing
That after all this there will be some kind of prize to find
But I'm not the man to chance it anymore
I spent a lifetime being locked up in expectancy dreaming of truce

Without these chains and iron mask to drag me down
Through veils of bone and bloodline
I can see the lie

It's up to you now
Completion of this
Eyes staring blindly
Back at nothing

So this is where it ends, your promises mean nothing
I will leave you here to die
Alone
A pale shadow of what was once
