Feigned angel smiles through a vain facade
Projects a reel of all he's not
Callous malice freed to do as it wants
So it believes it can’t be caught
Every breath through gnashed teeth
A karmic breeze whose whisper screams
C'est la vie
There is a ghost behind the mind
Whose inner demons napped the inner child
Rage freed from its cage boils up from inside
A smile lets down deceit's disguise
Can't trust a smile whose tongue’s in cheek
Through the mind, the ghost still speaks
C’est la vie
Ghost hides from an ever present past
Nothing answers, no one asks
Fingers crossed behind his back
Even the reaper wears a mask
Curtain falls, unto the breach
C'est la vie
Every monster once had a heart
Bemused and buried from the start
Every man is a work of art
His twists of fate shoot in the dark
Some monsters made, some born to be
C'est la vie
Such is life that death cannot win
Can't feign grace, can't make fake amends
Man's enemy is death’s best friend
Death is his lover and death is his kin
So goes the ghost given the chance to breathe
C'est la vie
The feigned angel gives up his ruse
Plastic halo becomes unglued
His crown of light becomes his noose
Eye for an eye, tooth for tooth
Inflicting mind ends with its last breath
Such is death
