Story behind the song

This song simply states that one should live life to it's fullest and add to the lives of others, without deceit.  Unfortunately, we all seem to live under a Mask of Lies...

Lyrics

Mask Of Lies
Music and Lyrics By:  John “Jonnikhan” King

It’s early in the evening, and the sun is going down town;
And the widow slowly weeping;
With her man inside the ground - down;
	But the facts of life are known;
	To each of us, the facts are shown;
		Oooo, have some respect for the dead;
		Oooo, listen to what they said;
			“You can be anyone that you wish;
			You can free your soul of desire;
			In your life you can find your own nitche;
			And lift yourself up from the myre…nye, nye, nye;
			Can’t you resist what they put on TV?
			Do you always buy what you are sold?
			Open your eyes, it’s time to see;
			Time to save your soul!”

In the heat of the season, her eyes, they prowl around town;
And the widow finally seeing that there’s love to be found ‘round;
	So she lives from day to day;
	And dies somewhere along the way;
		Oooo, have some respect for the dead;
		Oooo, listen to what they said;
			“Strive for peace and harmony;
			For one day in the ground you will lie;
			For a future society, free from the Mask Of Lies!”
