lyrics

Masquerade paper faces on parade
Masquerade
The phantoms come at night
To seduce my brain
Sing sweet songs of how we been made
Cultures clashing
Before they been taken over
To be paraded as the next thang
To copy, cut, delete... repeat
Never knowing the origins of where they came
Only to Capitalize commercialize tradition
From another planet
Same space
Different race
Religions of trade
That's how you get made
Don't mistake
This masquerade
We all just paper faces on parade
We got V for vendettas
Only shade the truth
Of trying to escape
From the games of the Masquerade
Game over
We've all been on display
As objections
To the holders gaze
Subjects to be tested
Never bested
That's what I'll trade
Places for
Just to play
In the game
of Life
To Monopolize
My masquerade
For a real face
A lil aged
But aged to perfection
Over time
Can't deny
We all in this
To give a future
history of today
Lest we forget
All the Gravediggas
of our Bones
Thugs and Harmony
Hello kitty melody
Memories
Masquerade over
Face to face
Extradite the fake.
We just paper faces
On display
In this masquerade
Sing, Sing, Sing for me
In this masquerade
Paper planes paper faces on display
Masquerade
It's the web that we weave
For upheaval
Of the souls of the gravediggas
For the soul deep down
In real place and time of the space
We just paper faces on display
Masquerade
