Story behind the song

Continuing saga of the Mask. 

After the personality dissolution of "The Mask part 1", our traveller finds himself at death's door. 

Chant at the beginning is provided by Mardy Lucier Porte, who passed away tragically last fall.
  
Mardy was a talented musician He had a great spirit, and I still find it hard to believe he's gone. He provided my idea of perfection for the intro of this tune.

Thank you.

Lyrics

The face is hidden behind the mask,
Severed from the World, 
You can't touch me,
now

There is no reaching, reaching me now,
dreams melt away in reality,
days and days of quiet desperation.

Now alone , and abadoned, 
My unspoken thoughts, reverberations.
There is no escape.

Tears flow , behind the Mask,
The echoes of my sins and regrets, 
Coming back to drown me.

Nobody cares about your scream, 
And still you're all alone.....
