    This is dedicated to all the lost souls
    who haven't got a word
    and have lost sight of their goals

    And have pains they cant heal
    like the lost land of Atlantis
    not even a scope could reveal
    and their lives become frantic
    and all is lost,
    all is lost

    Cause the dead wear masks
    to hide the unseen scars
    and nobody knows so nobody asks
    about the pain in their hearts
    behind the dead man's mask,
    the dead man's mask

    But the pain is real
    and the scars exist
    you just cannot feel
    when your hand is a fist
    and the pain is real,
    the pain is real

    Cause the dead wear masks
    to hide the unseen scars
    and nobody knows so nobody asks
    about the pain in their hearts
    behind the dead man's mask,
    the dead man's mask

    When the only light goes out
    your mind decays from the stress
    how can you say what you cannot say
    how can you show what you cannot see
    how can you heal an invisible wound
    how, how

    Cause the dead wear masks
    to hide the unseen scars
    and nobody knows so nobody asks
    about the pain in their hearts
    behind the dead man's mask,
    the dead man's mask

    A million unsaid words
    a million unseen horrors
    a million pent up pains
    all waiting to explode
    and they will,
    they will

    Cause the dead wear masks
    to hide the unseen scars
    and nobody knows so nobody asks
    about the pain in their hearts
    behind the dead man's mask,
    the dead man's mask

    When its all said n done
    and you're all hollow inside
    the real pain has just begun
    cause there's nowhere to confide
    you are dead

    And the only thing to do
    the only thing to do
    the only thing to do...
    is wear a mask

    Cause the dead wear masks
    to hide the unseen scars
    and nobody knows so nobody asks
    about the pain in their hearts
    behind the dead man's mask,
    the dead man's mask

    And so the dead wear masks
    to hide the unseen scars
    but maybe the scars will be seen
    and all will know and all will ask
    about how to heal the pain in their hearts
    behind the dead man's mask,
    the dead man's mask

    Cause the dead wear masks
    to hide the unseen scars
    and nobody knows so nobody asks
    about the pain in their hearts
    behind the dead man's mask,
    the dead man's mask

    Cause the dead wear masks
    to hide the unseen scars
    and nobody knows so nobody asks
    about the pain in their hearts
    behind the dead man's mask,
    the dead man's mask

    Cause the dead wear masks
    to hide the unseen scars
    and nobody knows so nobody asks
    about the pain in their hearts
    behind the dead man's mask,
    the dead man's mask

    ...And this is my mask...
