Masquerade of the Mutants

The pulse of orbits breaks the steady beat,
We’re trying on the plaster casts of space.
A fractured sky acts as an entr'acte sheet,
Distorting every normal human face.


Stardust is glittering on broken lips,
All we remembered in the dream now slips.

Припев
Grotesque and chic of shattered, twisting veins,
Where a new gene dictates its own parade.
We’re children of the depths, the shadow’s banes,
Entering this bizarre, dark Masquerade!
Masquerade of the Mutants!


The Lord is laughing, swallowing the smoke,
Changing his gender, era, and his skin.
Our carnival will be an empty joke,
When rings of pure eternity close in.


Eternity has frozen on a pale cheek,
Galactic secrets in the hand we seek.

Припев
Grotesque and chic of shattered, twisting veins,
Where a new gene dictates its own parade.
We’re children of the depths, the shadow’s banes,
Entering this bizarre, dark Masquerade!
Masquerade of the Mutants!


Outside of gravity, of names and tears,
We split the atoms of our melancholy.
The androgynous host sheds all its years,
Breaking the old constraints of human folly!



Припев
Grotesque and chic of shattered, twisting veins,
Where a new gene dictates its own parade.
We’re children of the depths, the shadow’s banes,
Entering this bizarre, dark Masquerade!
Masquerade of the Mutants!
