The Mask & The Raven Lyrics - Martigan

The Mask felt a new kind of pride 

Opening up against all his doubts 

A brand - new moon was to shine 

Onto his new galaxy on his mind 

So the Mask talked to the trees 

And the leaves answered him: 

" You'll surely need that pride 

later on" 

So the Mask took a talk to the trees 

And the leaves answered him: 

" You'll surely need your pride 

later on" 

The grocer recognised him 

And said " Master what's mine - 

That is yours" 

The saddler did invite him 

For a break - for a meal - for a night 

" My daughter" he said 

"will comfort you" 

if you my Lord want it -... 

with your kind permission 

Cover your face beyond your hood 

Hide your leg that's made of wood 

The gamblers steel their presence 

To please their king with absence 

The Mask refused to stay 

Knowing there will come a day 

For feasting and for laughter - 

- more honestly hereafter 

There was a humming in the treetops 

Like a rumour on the air 

Air -play - cling to the moment 

A weary mind and its defeat 

There was a humming in the treetops 

Like a rumour on the air 

Worn out scares 

Tearing themselves up into rage 

So the Mask talked to the trees 

And the leaves answered him: 

" You'll surely need that pride 

later on" 

So the Mask took a talk to the trees 

And the leaves answered him: 

" You'll surely need your pride 

later on"
