THE PERSONA - THE MASK

Sing a song of everything
You will never know
Sing a song of yesterdays
Frozen in the snow
Sing to burn the recipe
Sing to break the rules
Sing to guild the lily with
An empty pack of fools

Slice the razor twice and
Twist the knife blade back
You can starve from plenty
And be gorged to death from lack
You can see what won’t be seen
You can shut your eyes
If you burn the bell tower
What will hold up the skies?
