Sun-Bleach Mask was written and recorded from the summer to late fall of 2008 and is the 6th track from Agrippa93’s album, Beneath the Cypress Tree.

Lyrics written by Agrippa and Myk Dugan in 2008.

Looking down at the glare of a porcelain mask,
Its blinding me.
Blood and sinew pave the way
For a generation full of slaves
Deceit and lies fed to you
By a government that wants you deadCorruption of a innocent,
Ideas of war fill his head
Pull the mask upon my face
To destroy my last humanity

Dark curtains conceal the masters
Pulling strings to guide the dancers
Out of sight, corrupt, and bloated
Diplomacy, guns fully loaded

There must be a sane solution
Mask my face from persecution

Controlled headline
The warning signs

The sun breaks through the clouds
The blinding light
I shade my eyes

The shadows fade away
from the sun-bleached mask
of my disguise.

Moving pawns across the chess board
Fill the purses of the warlords
Send the poor to die for oil
Spilling blood in foreign soil

There must be a sane solution
Mask my face from persecution

Deceit and lies
A kingdom dies

The sun breaks through the clouds
The blinding light
I shade my eyes

The shadows fade away
from the sun-bleached mask
of my disguise.

Looking Down
Blood and sinew
Deceit and lies
Corruption
Pull the mask upon my face

Exposed at last
Tear off my mask

The sun breaks through the clouds
The blinding light
I shade my eyes

The shadows fade away
from the sun-bleached mask
of my disguise.

“This is the first song that I have ever collaborated writing lyrics on. The first section developed was the chorus and I struggled for a few months with the rest of the words. Towards the mid point of my writer’s block, Myk came up with the open words that he would eventually record his growl vocals over. A couple of weeks after, I wrote the rest in one sitting and recorded the vocals that night.” – Agrippa
