You create an image 
An image from your mind 
Reflection of rejection 
Commit the perfect crime 
Can't let the truth escape from your head 
And you won’t face it 
Bury your head in sand 
And you embrace it 
Hiding away from it all… 

Les murs de ton âme s’écroulent 
Sous le masque ton visage brûle 
To hear a conscience calling 
From within another mask you hide 

Mon masque dévoile de nombreux visages 
Qui cachent ma peur latente 
Mon esprit embué remplit les espaces 
D’une realité cauchemar 

My mask reveals many faces 
Hiding the fear underneath 
My mind fills empty spaces 
Of a nightmare reality 

Can’t you see pain from the traces? 
Standing before hidden eyes 
Phantom shapes, mystical places 
Fulfill old prophecies 

You can’t face the feeling 
You can’t face yourself 
Accepting of their jester 
Security on a shelf 

One… step… before I break 
Two… more… I begin to shake… 
Paranoid I begin to crawl behind… the façade 
Repression is better than reality 
Lose yourself, crawling out of dignity 

One… step… before I break 
Two… more… I begin to shake… 
Paranoid I begin to crawl behind… the façade 

Now tell me it’s all right, it’s ok 
You can save your face for another day 
Come out of hiding, try to believe 
Don’t cast another wish in the well of deceit 

I see that it’s not right 
That look on my face 
When you’re reasoning now 
At the end of the day 
Running for shelter, my reason for rhymes 
Without this face a shell for emotions to hide… 

(hiding) but now I have no place to go but face the fear 
(reaching) for reason to this old rhyme 
Justified insanity 
(stirring) from the fears and doubts to realize the fool I am 
(tearing) away this mask 
My truth sees the light of day! 

J’ai ouvert les portes vers un autre horizon 
Un royaume dans lequel on voit 
Tous les visages dans une mer de masques
