Masquerade (Woodford/McAndrew) (copyright 2013)

V1
Nothing's ever what it seems
This is no Middle Earth broken dream
No lessons learned from what has been
As they hide behind their smoke screen
It's clear those who appear to win
With truth they struggle to begin
Through countenace now wearing thin
Their masquerading stories spin

Give it true cadence
Denial and avoidance
Gloved puppetmasters
With their toys in hand
Rolling in their decadence
Acted out through pretence
Never saying what they mean
How they poison the land

Expose the Masquerade
Negotiate a fair trade
Where the play of lies is made
Masquerade (Masquerade)

V2
Now take the chance to make things right
As with your conscience fuel the fight
Or have you still no appetite
To grapple with the daylight?
The pattern set from folklore
As history displays before
Upon the fields of evermore
Deception ensures your tongue's still sore

V3
It's hopeful soon your bubble burst
As all need fuel to feed their thirst
Your crime ranks high among the worst
The front you wear is not your first
As surely it won't be your last
Your dancing spell so clearly cast
You had a ball and had a blast
Although It's being broken way to fast

Thanks Mark and Thunder. I think Rush has/have moved on from this sound but I'll take the comparison all day  8) . This was stuck in the DAW for a long time and I've only really just started coming out of a long period of musical lethargy so pleased to get it out.
