Absent Minded
War paint
Like a gothic emperor
their faces painted to ward off the demons
coming to overtake their land
to introduce their enemies to the new terror
the threat of war was always met with a mask
perhap[s cowering
warpaint
war paint
a gothic tribute to the shattered souls
i wear this mask everyday for those judging me
trying to take over 5this free land
i coiwer behind this mask
bnut yet crazy and terrified iw ill stand
A dark emperor among the many thorns
i will bite i will fight
i will claw i will scream
i will play games and come through the night of thieves
where there are one of me and kill all fouirty of you
it matters not to me
i wear this gothic warpaint like any
who has ever faced the treachery of the faces of darkness
and fear havind the evil recognise his face whenb he gets away
to scare away the demons and keep them at bay
since the beginning of time mankind has been playoing this trick on the devil
meeting war with an equal mask of terror
tribal masks and warpaint
and now its just a game
i wear this war paiant gothic mask to remind you
back from where we once came
and when you reject me
and give me a sideways glance
i am touching my tribal nature of the essences of the seeds of man
to uinderstand facing the evils around me like once was before
and you have just rejected everything you celebrate
so go ahead throw away what you all worship
as i dress goth
and wear this warpaint and my cultural tradition and you judge me
and throw mwe away
welcome to throwing away the essence of everything you worshipped
and came to celebrate
the meeting of evil with an equally scary face
the driving away of demons with an equal threat to demonstrate
so when you look at me and say you disagree
and throw me away
welcome to the understanding you now have no religion
so welcome back to the basics
of warpaint gothic ,masks and why we hide forom the evil
you dont understand but brought here
to toy with us
and we wear these masks and warpaint
and faces to drive the devil away
and we wear the camaflouge and evil eyes
like puzzle pieces to hypnotise the gods of war to get them under our thuimb
and one day when the setting son comes
the mimes and clowns will have us all die laughing
their faces painted to ward off the demons
coming to overtake their land
to introduce their enemies to the new terror
the threat of war was always met with a mask
