Masking feat. MF Doom
ASM

[Narrator]

In the soft early hours as the day breaks

Shalim now makes his escape

He knew the king, though refusing to give it up

Was now effectively a little more than a sitting duck

He sidles up to the palace build on shattered homes

Scattered bones in the catacombs


[Shalim]

Upon dawn make a subtle escape

Taking bloodlust into every step that I make

Every breath that I take

Make a break for the palace outer walls

To avoid the main gates where the archers are

Rongon gone or not

It's the throne that will fall

Drop to the inner courtyard

Before I clutch grass with the palm of my hand, stand tall

Scope a king's guard at the corridor

Which I believe leads to the main hall

So I sneak behind

He hits the floor

And many more have gone along the same route

Sword stained red as I take them out

Can't wait to put my blade to the face of the tyrant

And make him bow down to the jade on my chain of my neck

While smiling

I've got to find him, where's he hiding


[Narrator]

Footsteps echo through the halls of the palace through the wall

He hears the faint scraping of talons

Too many gentle souls fall in the malice

One last lunge then light up the chalice

Only the sound of footsteps that ring

Only one thing that can make the caged bird sing

Only one way out, only one leads in

And stands face to face with the king


[MF DOOM as King Dumile]

No more applications for soldiers, all positions filled

The guards should've informed you that back at the citadel

Guards, escort this lad out, take his surname

Guards!

Guards!

Hey what's your game?

State your intent, my patience wears thin

Then I noticed a faint resemblance in the face and skin

Could this be fate or destiny?

I cram to overstand how this could happen for the best of me

Wait!

Likeness in the eyes is the moon glow

Knew this moment would arrive, but not so soon though

That perfect combo of caring, fearlessness, with a twisted ruthless

Obvious how clear it is



[Shalim]

Oh!

So here it is

Spare me your villainous charm

The mirror sits calm like a pause in a song

Reflects dark images raw

Makes the dusk more warm than the howl of the dawn


[King Dumile]

Sound the alarm!

The gong was sonically loud

Regardless of how it played out he seemed ironically proud

What evidence can make a guess be accurate

Recognizable at the craftsmanship on the amulet

With the jade piece, a rare yet familiar cut

And a custom design link


[Shalim]

You think I feel the love?

I conjure nothing but a sour taste, foul grapes

Not what the owl takes

Dumile face the blade

May fate be the judge

Suffocate your days of hate and shedding blood


[King Dumile]

Hold up, I'll tell you what

My reign is over, along with my presence, hence

A graceful exit, I'll leave your inheritance

Knowing one day you too will be consumed

By absolute power of which no man is immune

And he was gone, through a false panel in the room

Disappeared across the lagoon


[Narrator]

Scream now echo through the halls of the palace

In his head turmoil, struggling for balance

If his mother was compassion and his father was malice

Rain now falls by the gallon

Only the sound of footsteps in the halls

Only one responds once destiny calls

Only the purest of hearts stand tall

Only the wicked shall fall

A new king strolls through the halls of the palace

Head held high, the embodiment of balance

And the world realigns for the true and the callous

Through the looking glass like Alice

Only the victory charms outside

Only one man favoured by the whims of the tide

Sometimes goodness and peace presides

Sometimes that wine hides cyanide
