Laughing Man (In The Devil Mask)

 

The Laughing Man In The Devil Mask

You ripped yourself to shreds

While I stood laughing

Youd like to see me pay

For the time you're having

 

You'll walk that line again

You'll try to die again

You'll waste your nights just thinking of me

 

As the needle finds the vein

As the bullet goes through the brain

As your city meets the sea

As you're drowning, think of me

 

I am the lord of time

The Laughing Man In The Devil Mask

I am the birth of crime

The Laughing Man In The Devil Mask

Drop to your knees again

The Laughing Man In The Devil Mask

Tie off and die again

The Laughing Man In The Devil Mask

 

Push the rock back up the hill

You start to feel like you're standing still

Your life lies broken for all to see

You'll hear the laughter, then you'll see me

 

Tender flock, led astray

You always knew it would be this way

You just go now, no need to ask

You are the face behind the devil mask
