IN THE WIND OF YOUR WORDS
I HEAR FLAGS FLAPPING
I HEAR BOOTS MARCHING
THROUGH THESE TROUBLED TIMES

IN THE WHITENESS OF YOUR SMILE
THERE ARE BLEACHED FIELDS OF BONES
THERE ARE MEN HURLING STONES
INTO CLOUDS OF ASH

AND IT MAKES IT HARD TO SEE LOVE BEHIND YOUR MASK
YES IT’S HARD TO SEE LOVE BEHIND YOUR MASK

WHEN I LOOK AT WHAT YOU’VE DONE
WITH YOUR GREED AND YOUR BOMBS
WITH YOUR POISONS AND YOUR GODS
I WANNA CAUSE YOU PAIN

BUT AS THIS HATRED GRIPS MY HEART
I’M NO BETTER THAN YOU
ANOTHER SELF RIGHTEOUS FOOL
WITH A STONE TO CAST

YES IT’S HARD TO SEE LOVE BEHIND YOUR MASK
IT’S SO HARD TO SEE LOVE BEHIND YOUR MASK
STILL I WANT TO SEE THE LOVE BEHIND YOUR MASK

AND HERE I STAND TODAY
WITH THIS STORM IN MY MIND
TRYING TO KEEP FROM GOING BLIND
AS YOUR SIRENS FLASH

AND IT’S SO HARD TO SEE LOVE BEHIND YOUR MASK
YES IT’S HARD TO SEE LOVE BEHIND YOUR MASK
STILL I WANT TO SEE THE LOVE BEHIND YOUR MASK
BEHIND YOUR MASK
