Violation
Masquerade Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I see a man of reason
I see his conscience plain
He bears the guilt of man's proclaim

I see my sister, brother
I see the greed for more
The legal kill we ignore
We do what we wanna do
And say what we wanna say
But still look the other way

I see a world of madness
Environmental rape
Face the consistency too late
Oh you're gonna die, oh you're gonna die

You change if you wanna change
And pray if you wanna pray
So why look the other way

Violation
Devestation
Termination




The last of man's device
Violation

"Brujahs and Gangrels are skinheads and furries, respectively. They're very hot-tempered, and have poor impulse control."
~(Paraphrased from) SsethTzeentatch's VtM: Bloodlines Review

Didn‘t he say hobos?

Mute Soul

@S Gn He did; I just figured "Skinheads" describes Clan Brujah in the modern nights better.
