about

This song is inspired by the video game Majora's Mask. It's written from the point of view of Skull Kid.

lyrics

Once upon a time
I was lost in the woods
Ensnared, a specter in that land
I can almost remember the song of Saria
Nearly can I recall my old friends

The giants have forsaken me
Unamused it seems
Lost alone, I'm wandering
My face they will not see
Where did we go wrong
My nature once brought them such joy
Now they say my mischief has brought only pain and suffering
They say that I'm to leave
Or I'm to die
The giants have forsaken me
Betrayal it seems
Lost alone, I'm wandering
My face holds misery

Once the jester's mask
Was stripped away from me
They saw the tears stream
Not caring for feelings deep
They didn't like what
Hid behind the mask
Take away the laughter
And what do you see

Take it away
Oh no
I said take it away
Won't you take it away from me

But what's this mask I see
Dark power all for me
I'll strip the pain away
A new face to make them pay

I wanna die
But not before they know
The rotten taste of fatal self doubt
You walked away from me
Now stay where you go
Watch as your time is running out

But who's this boy I see
My old friend of Kokiri
I'll give him just a taste
Of my world's horrors that await

I wanna die
But not before they know
The rotten taste of fatal self doubt
You walked away from me
Now stay where you go
Watch as your time is running out

Solo: Millard

And on the dawn of the final day
You'll understand
And on the dawn of the final day
You'll understand
