Burn The Mask

[Intro –cinematic synths, distorted whispers, guitars fade in-]
I see through you…
You can’t hide forever.
⸻
[Verse 1 –Fast, rhythmic, half-rap/half-scream-]
You paint your lies like a portrait of pride,
Hiding the cracks where the truth can’t hide.
Plastic smile on a broken face,
Built your kingdom in a shallow place.
Electric pulse in the back of my head,
Every word you spoke left the silence dead.
You wear your mask, but it starts to fade,
Now the monster shows in the mess you made.
⸻
[Pre-Chorus –melodic clean vocals, electronic backing-]
I won’t be fooled,
Your walls are see-through.
The shadows betray you,
And soon they’ll erase you.
⸻
[Chorus –soaring cleans with screams layered in-]
Burn the mask, let the ashes fall!
Your kingdom’s built on nothing at all!
Strip the lies, watch the empire die—
The truth cuts deep, but it opens my eyes!
⸻
[Verse 2 –heavier, screamed with syncopated guitars-]
Shattered glass from the words you spoke,
Every promise made was a bitter joke.
Your crown of thorns is a cage of shame,
You bled the world dry just to carve your name.
I’m not the one that you thought I’d be,
I’m not a pawn in your tragedy.
I’ll tear the mask from your hollow skin,
And let the night drag the monster in.
⸻
[Pre-Chorus –stronger, screamed / clean mix-]
You can’t disguise,
The fire in your eyes.
The mask is breaking,
There’s no escaping!
⸻
[Chorus –full band, heavier layering-]
[-Clean vocals + screams layered in parts-]
Burn the mask, let the ashes fall!
Your kingdom’s built on nothing at all!
Strip the lies, watch the empire die—
The truth cuts deep, but it opens my eyes!
[-Screamed response / backing-]
(You can’t hide forever—your time is done!)
[-Clean vocals rise higher, more melodic-]
Burn the mask, I see who you are,
A fading shadow, a collapsing star!
No disguise will protect your pride—
The fire consumes what you’ve tried to hide!
[-Gang chant / crowd vocals over chugs-]
TAKE IT OFF! TAKE IT OFF!
WATCH IT BURN, WATCH IT FALL!
⸻
[Breakdown –brutal screams, djent-style chugs-]
MASK OFF! FACE THE FLAMES!
LIES LOST! NOTHING REMAINS!
THIS IS THE END OF YOUR CROWN AND YOUR THRONE—
NOW YOU’RE NOTHING, YOU DIE ALONE!
⸻
[Bridge –haunting clean vocal over synth + low guitar-]
The face you showed was never real…
The scars beneath will never heal.
You lived a lie, but the truth survived…
And now your mask won’t keep you alive.
⸻
[Final Chorus –extended, layered with cleans + screams-]
Burn the mask, let the ashes fall!
Your kingdom’s built on nothing at all!
Strip the lies, watch the empire die—
The truth cuts deep, but it opens my eyes!
Burn the mask, I see through the pain,
Your shadow’s gone, but the scars remain.
This is the end, your disguise is gone—
No mask can hide what you’ve become!
⸻
[Outro –cinematic strings fade into glitchy electronic noise-]
No mask… no crown…
Just ashes on the ground.
Strip the lies, watch the empire die—
The truth cuts deep, but it opens my eyes!
Burn the mask, I see through the pain,
Your shadow’s gone, but the scars remain.
This is the end, your disguise is gone—
No mask can hide what you’ve become!
⸻
[Outro –cinematic strings fade into glitchy electronic noise-]
No mask… no crown…
Just ashes on the ground.
