The tie is tight, the smile is groomed and set A walking shadow, no regrets, no threat I play the part, I wear the mask so thin A quiet storm is brewing deep within "He’s so composed," they whisper in the hall But they don’t see the cracks upon the wall A polished mirror reflecting what they need While underneath, the beast begins to feed! The clock is ticking, the tension starts to rise The civil man is fading in my eyes One single spark to set the fuel ablaze I’m cutting through the suffocating haze! Smash the mirror, let the casing break Feel the ground beneath the pressure shake! No more control, no filters left to hold The rhythm takes the soul, turns ice to gold! Crush the silence, hear the thunder roar I´m not the gentle man I was before! Gone! Beyond! The rage is reborn! She sees the change, she knows the second face The quiet dweller leaves without a trace From steady breath to fire in the lungs A thousand truths on heavy-metal tongues Let them stare, let them judge the noise I’ve traded patience for these screaming toys! Smash the mirror, let the casing break Feel the ground beneath the pressure shake! No more control, no filters left to hold The rhythm takes the soul, turns ice to gold! Crush the silence, hear the thunder roar I´m not the gentle man I was before! Gone! Beyond! The rage is reborn! Control is gone! The mask is torn! Into the light! The beast is born! DIE! DIE! DIE! BY THE RHYTHM! Smash the mirror, let the casing break Feel the ground beneath the pressure shake! No more control, no filters left to hold The rhythm takes the soul, turns ice to gold! Crush the silence, hear the thunder roar I´m not the gentle man I was before! No more faking... The walls are breaking... FREEDOM! FREEDOM!
