The Gold Mask

[Verse 1]

To be born anew

To live and not quite lose

To trust every day

Stay unchanged

[Verse 2]

To be free

And just be

As clear as eyes conceive

To know

What is known

Won't erase

[Verse 3]

Well I say, I say shame

To any given 'morrow crossed

[Chorus]

'Cause I'll get by

Lover, like I do

To haunt again and rise

Where that sun

Meets that rain

Taken by the two's in heart

Lover, I would choose to part again

Fain I, dare not lead

Dare not pale

[Bridge]

And maybe it's easy this way to love

[Verse 4]

When they took his name

His works and robbed of pain

Of his alm and his right to endure

[Verse 5]

In fear of useless slur

I gave of any hollow crossed

[Chorus]

'Cause I get by

Lover, like I do

To haunt again and rise

Where that sun

Meets that rain

Taken by the two's in hearts

Lover, I would choose to part again

Fain I

Dare not lead

Dare not pale

[Bridge]

'Cause tears aren't, tears aren't a grail

And tears aren't, tears aren't for sale

Though I couldn't cry by design

If I tried

[Chorus]

I'll get by

Lover, like I do haunt again and rise

Taken by the two's in hearts

Lover, I would choose to part again and rise

[Bridge]

Maybe it's easy this way to love

Or maybe it's easy this way to give up
