Unmasked

Steel boots fall
On burned-out ground
Every step hits
A defiant sound
Shattered glass
Faces split and snared
In a world of masks
I remain bare

I see the lies
In every move they make
No veil on me
Nothing here to break

No mask — no fear
I won’t disappear
Uncovered, raw
I stand here
No mask — no fear
Unmasked — unafraid

Thick air, whispers
Built on cheap deceit
Their brittle fronts
Crumble at my feet
Hidden eyes
Behind their glowing screens
But I’m the step
That cracks their schemes

Cut through the dark
Tear down their reign
The build
The break
The loss
The gain
Unmasked — unafraid
No more disguise

No mask — no fear
I won’t disappear
Uncovered, raw
I stand here
No mask — no fear
Unmasked — unafraid
