Who Is The Man Behind the Purple Mask?

 

 

Who is the man behind the purple mask? 
Unfortunately, I can say I know.
Tis easy to answer but hard to ask.

The light in his eyes make me want to bask
I do not mind the dark inside that grows
Who is the man behind the purple mask?

He has secrets unknown, yet has no task.
What is inside him that makes my heart glow? 
Tis easy to answer but hard to ask.

He has love enough to fill forty casks
But hate so grand it makes his heart go slow.
Who is the man behind the purple mask?

Look in my eyes and see the pain he asks
Why must I stay and see the eyes he shows?
Tis easy to answer but hard to ask.

It makes me yearn for a large metal flask
He has my soul, which is why I can’t go.
Who is the man behind the purple mask?
Tis easy to answer but hard to ask.
