Wearer of the Mask
You think you know who I am?
A demon?
I'm not like that.
I think you've forgotten the person you knew
back when we were children…
I don't think you understand.
You Goddesses
don't know any pain
Cause that's what you are,
Goddesses…
You think demons don't know
what pain really is…?
Don't make me laugh.
I'm a Marked Demon.
You know what it means, Urd?
Say, do you know what it's like
to be scorned by your family and colleagues…?
I don't think so.
Say, can you understand
that I'm different from other demons…?
That I'm dancing inside shields?
That I'm wearing a mask
to hide the pain I feel every day…?
Say, Morisato, you think immortals don't know pain?
Say, Urd, do you think I don't need a friend?
Say, Sayoko, do you know there's a kindred spirit out there
who's despairing as badly as you?
That's why
I wear this mask
And hold these shields
Protecting myself from my own heart
Cause I know what it's like to be in pain
I know it seems hard to believe
But I don't think
That I ever told you…
Maybe some day
I'll take all these shields, and this mask…
And find the courage to throw them all away
Free at last, like petals in the breeze
Some day, I'll be able to shout with all my strength
Without any fear of the consequences
Without sadness, with courage and joy
And without hiding
Behind these shields, and behind this mask…
Some day, I'll be able to tell you, Goddesses, what's happened
Some day, Goddesses, you'll see beyond the mask
And you'll understand me for who I am
You'll see…
Demon
Scorned
Outcast
Actor
Someday, I'll remove my mask
I'll leave this horrible role that I'm cast as
And you'll see that I'm still the same
Even if I'm a demon…
No matter what mask I wear
No matter what role I play
No matter what name you call me…
Mahler.
Marller.
Mara…
That's me!
