It was a strange time
When we wore masques

We hid behind them
The ones that we chose
Whether we realized it or not

We took on the masque of truth
We took on the masque of the fool
We took on the masque of reason
We took on the masque of prejudice
We took on the masque of kindness
We took on the masque of cruelty

Hidden behind our masques
We were finally truthful
In an age of artifice
