[Verse] A shadow walks through the neon glow His smile's a secret only he knows Threads of fear in the strings he ties Behind the mask where the darkness lies [Chorus] He's the man behind the mask A twisted grin A haunted past Lurking deep where the wires clash He's the man behind the mask [Verse 2] Children's laughter Now it fades Echoes haunt the games he played Metal monsters His silent choir Singing songs of a mad desire [Chorus] He's the man behind the mask A twisted grin A haunted past Lurking deep where the wires clash He's the man behind the mask [Bridge] Purple shadows stain the floor Footsteps lead to a bolted door A puppet master Strings held tight He dances there in the dead of night [Verse 3] He built a cage of metal and pain A cycle turning again and again The sparks ignite The shadows spread But his dark legacy will never be dead
