Messiah - The Great Masquerade
Your chateau towers into the violet sky like some villainous lair
I hear the whispers of a fight that left your golden gates bare
I call a debate to the freedom you said I would be from and have
But your crooked lines always take me there
I run through your winter kisses like it ignites my soul
My infamy is a daring dance that leads me away from home
I'm bathed in sequins in the foyer of your 40th floor
Your skies turn you to moonstone
I have the same nightmare every day of the week
They throw me over the cliff and say my madness pushed me
I hunt these fortunes down like some cold blooded fantasy
He says the beast inside you has devoured me
I had a feeling you'd never leave me but why couldn't you let go
The wolves at my heels made sure you'd find me buried deep in the snow
You take it upon you to justify why the dust settles around you slow
I can't explain how these longings are thorns in your rose
My misgivings said you had warmed up to the cold
Broke through the ice and chased after the melancholia storm
You followed through on everybody's tossed pennies and gold
You say these affirmations are the wayward keys to the door
They say I'm lost to the curse that took control of my soul
You're run down in my name as they polish their pitchforks
I wear it like the diadem donned in onyx and gold
I throw all this life away for a chance to go home
He pulled the wrong trigger, he'll never see midheaven
He understands why all his vanity was contested
I'll sleep in this dream forever, you'll be my new Messiah
My loyalty belongs to you until my time expires.
