Mask of the Brave

[Intro] [Heavy Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] In the shadows of his mind, a battle rages on, A father's quiet war, from dusk until the dawn. Bearing the weight, his heart cloaked in steel, Hiding the wounds that time won't heal. [Chorus] Behind the mask, where silent tears flow, A father stands firm, where no one can know. Mask of the brave, his secret to keep, Guarding his loved ones, even in sleep. [Verse 2] Storms may rage, and fortunes may fall, Through each tempest, he's standing tall. A fortress of solitude, a shield of resolve, Facing his fears, he refuses to dissolve. [Chorus] Behind the mask, where silent tears flow, A father stands firm, where no one can know. Mask of the brave, his secret to keep, Guarding his loved ones, even in sleep. [Bridge] [Drum Solo] Thunderous beats echo his pain, Under the facade, strains and strains. Yet in his eyes, a glimmering spark, Hope resides in the deep, stark dark. [Chorus] Behind the mask, where silent tears flow, A father stands firm, where no one can know. Mask of the brave, his secret to keep, Guarding his loved ones, even in sleep. [Outro] [Fade Out with Soft Guitar Melody] As the night fades, the mask remains, A symbol of strength, through all the strains. [Chorus] Behind the mask, where silent tears flow, A father stands firm, where no one can know. Mask of the brave, his secret to keep, Guarding his loved ones, even in sleep. [Outro] [Fade Out with Soft Guitar Melody] As the night fades, the mask remains, A symbol of strength, through all the strains.
