The last mask has fallen

(Soft and introspective, with minimal instrumentation – just acoustic guitar or piano. The vocals should feel vulnerable, almost whispered, to emphasize the emotional depth.)

Shadows lingered, veils so thin,

Hiding truth beneath the skin.

Whispers echoed in the night,

Wounds concealed from the light.

A masquerade, a fragile dance,

A fleeting lie, a fleeting chance.

But time, relentless, strips it bare,

Reveals the scars that linger there.

(Strong and emotional, with a full band sound – drums kick in, supported by dynamic guitar lines. The vocals should be powerful, almost desperate, conveying the liberating force of truth.)

The last mask has fallen,

The truth stands tall.

No more illusions,

No curtain call.

The face in the mirror,

Now unchained.

The last mask has fallen,

And none remain.

(Gentle but more determined than the first verse. Instrumentation expands slightly – a soft beat and light strings in the background.)

Behind the eyes, a storm would brew,

A battlefield no one knew.

Each smile, a carefully drawn line,

A façade crumbling over time.

Now silence roars, it fills the space,

Where pretense held its fragile place.

Freedom rings in honesty’s name,

Through ashes rises a new flame.

(Even more intense than before – full instrumentation, with the voice burning with emotion. Background vocals or choirs can be added to amplify the magnitude of the moment.)

The last mask has fallen,

The truth stands tall.

No more illusions,

No curtain call.

The face in the mirror,

Now unchained.

The last mask has fallen,

And none remain.

(Begins slow and quiet, building up to an epic crescendo. The vocals should sound raw and emotional, almost on the verge of breaking. Instruments gradually join in, creating a dramatic rise.)

Let the world see the cracks, the flaws,

The battles fought, the heavy cause.

In naked truth, we’re born again,

No need for shadows to defend.

(The final chorus is full of power, anthemic and triumphant. Instruments reach their peak, with the voice sounding free and victorious. Harmonies or backing choirs sing along for added depth.)

The last mask has fallen,

The truth stands tall.

No more illusions,

No curtain call.

The face in the mirror,

Now unchained.

The last mask has fallen,

And none remain.

(Delicate and hopeful, with a gentle fade-out. Instrumentation gradually strips back – leaving only piano and light strings. The vocals should feel soft, almost whispered, conveying a sense of peace and resolution.)

With every tear, a seed is sown,

From broken hearts, new life has grown.

The stage is silent, the act is done,

And in the light, we face the sun.

(Fade out with soft piano and subtle strings.)
