The Gold Mask

The Gold Mask Lyrics

[Verse 1]
To be born anew
To live and not quite lose
To trust every day
Stay unchanged

[Verse 2]
To be free
And just be
As clear as eyes can see
To know
What's known
Won't erase
[Verse 3]
Well I say, I say shame
To any given borrowed cross

[Chorus]
'Cause I get by
Lover, like I do
Just [?] again and rise
Where that sun
Beats that rain

Taken by the tunes
In hearts
Lover, I would choose to part again say I
Dare not leave
Dare not pale

[Bridge]
Maybe it's easy this way to love

[Verse 4]
When they took his name
His works and robbed of pain
Of his own
And his right to endure

[Verse 5]
In fear of useless sun
I gave of any hallowed cross

[Chorus]
'Cause I get by
Lover, like I do
Just [?] again and rise
Where that sun
Beats that rain

Taken by the tunes
In hearts
Lover, I would choose to part again say I
Dare not leave
Dare not pale

[Bridge]
'Cause tears aren't, tears aren't a grail
And tears aren't, tears aren't for sale
Oh, I couldn't cry by design
If I tried

[Chorus]
(Get by)
Lover, like I do
[?] again and rise
Taken by the tunes
In hearts
Lover, I would choose to part again and rise

[Bridge]
Maybe it's easy this way to love
Or maybe it's easy this way to give up
