Thrill Of The Mask

THRILL OF THE MASK

for "Flying Glory and the Hounds of Glory" Issue #6 (page 10)

as sung by Flying Glory and Swordes

Copyright 2005 Shannon Muir

SWORDES:
Baby, don’t you toy with me
Play me like a puppet on strings

FLYING GLORY:
Please accept just who I am
I need your heart to understand

SWORDES:
You leave me longing for the day
When cape and cowl are put away
And I can hold you in my arms
With no need for disguise or charms

FLYING GLORY:
My powers can aid everyone
Help me do right and defeat wrong
This uniform shows all the world
Somewhere to turn when times get cold

CHORUS (BOTH):
Let me show you
Let me love you
Let me know you
Let me be
No longer feeling
That I’m competing
Against the thrill of the mask

FLYING GLORY:
But power is not in my clothes
Within my blood is where it flows
You must love every part of me
Regardless of which side you see

SWORDES:
I first knew you when you swooped down
Rescued me that day in uptown
But did not fall until I glimpsed
What lay behind that mask you’re in

FLYING GLORY:
I love both the lives that I lead
But that they matter equally

SWORDES:
I can’t shake what I feel for you
And hope that all you say is true

CHORUS (BOTH):
Let me show you
Let me love you
Let me know you
Let me be
No longer feeling
That I’m competing
Against the thrill of the mask

FLYING GLORY:
No longer feeling

SWORDES:
That I’m competing

BOTH:
Against the thrill of the mask
