The Mask & The Raven

The Mask felt a new kind of pride

Opening up against all his doubts

A brand - new moon was to shine

Onto his new galaxy on his mind

So the Mask talked to the trees

And the leaves answered him:

" You'll surely need that pride

later on"

So the Mask took a talk to the trees

And the leaves answered him:

" You'll surely need your pride

later on"

The grocer recognised him

And said " Master what's mine -

That is yours"

The saddler did invite him

For a break - for a meal - for a night

" My daughter" he said

"will comfort you"

if you my Lord want it -…

with your kind permission

Cover your face beyond your hood

Hide your leg that's made of wood

The gamblers steel their presence

To please their king with absence

The Mask refused to stay

Knowing there will come a day

For feasting and for laughter -

- more honestly hereafter

There was a humming in the treetops

Like a rumour on the air

Air -play - cling to the moment

A weary mind and its defeat

There was a humming in the treetops

Like a rumour on the air

Worn out scares

Tearing themselves up into rage

So the Mask talked to the trees

And the leaves answered him:

" You'll surely need that pride

later on"

So the Mask took a talk to the trees

And the leaves answered him:

" You'll surely need your pride

later on"
