"Call of the Mask" (Verse 1) In the compound's eerie glow, we danced on borrowed time, Three days awake, our souls aching, broken by the climb. A bottle spills, the lights go black, the moon cuts through the haze, Shadows writhe, the air is thick, our minds caught in a maze. (Pre-Chorus) Eyes of gold, like burning suns, pierce the smoke’s embrace, Whispers drag us through the void, to meet the beast’s gaze. (Chorus) We called the Mask, through smoke it came, Its voice was soft, its form untamed. A serpent's grace, a power vast, We touched the dream, the die was cast. (Verse 2) Brittle minds and trembling hands reached into the night, Its tongue like ash, a phantom's touch, its presence blinding light. “You sought me out, now pay the price,” its silky voice declares, Bound by choice, or broken wills, caught in its coiled snares. (Pre-Chorus) Dreams of power, glimpses torn from futures not our own, Promises, a whispered pact, in shadows, seeds are sown. (Chorus) We called the Mask, through smoke it came, Its voice was soft, its form untamed. A serpent's grace, a power vast, We touched the dream, the die was cast. (Bridge) Hannah’s key, a carved design, a doorway through the dream, Brittney’s soul, the price she paid, more fragile than it seemed. William’s fate, a tether bound, to secrets lost in time, The Mask retreats, but leaves its mark, eternal and sublime. (Outro) Smoke fades to silver, the moon takes its throne, We lie on the cold ground, yet never alone. In the circle of shadows, a bond now remains, The Mask's cryptic blessing, a sweet, aching chain.
