They've been cheating you from the start How could you be so blind to all the signs It was all written in their eyes And now you stand alone and betrayed By the puppeteers behind They had it all planned in their mind They virtuously played their favourite part They sowed the doubt inside your heart To isolate you from the real life They show you nothing but a mask Their beautiful words and their smile Are nothing but a hideous lie Oh they tell you all you want to hear Now tear down their mask and let's see You were too young much too weak to fight So vulnerable fragile and innocent An easy prey for those who feed On the human distress of our lonely lives They show you nothing but a mask Their beautiful words and their smile Are nothing but a hideous lie Oh they tell you all you want to hear Now tear down their mask and let's see My heart is bleeding as I see What you've become now they control your mind Oh how I'd like to break the spell And hold you tight again, my long lost friends Now tear down their mask and come with me
