The Mask Behind the Magic AI Song

(Verse 1) I left the tent where shadows played, Where wonders danced and I once stayed. But Persia called, a whispered name, A land of power, wealth, and fame. I went to serve the mighty shah, A builder’s hands, a voice of awe. The court of kings, their whispers sweet, But chains of gold still bound my feet. (Pre-Chorus) Their eyes could never see the man, Behind the mask, beneath the hand. But through the walls of song I’d climb, Their awe would trap me every time. (Chorus) I gave them wonder, gave them fear, But still, they only saw the mirror. A voice so sweet, a face unknown, A power claimed, yet not my own. The mask behind the magic stands, A servant in a foreign land. (Verse 2) The shah commands, the khanum calls, I raise their palace, carve their halls. But still they pull me from the stone, To make them laugh, to hear my tone. I rise to heights they’ll never see, A craftsman bound by royal decree. I wear their praise, their golden lies, But still, I’m veiled in my disguise. (Pre-Chorus) They want my soul, they want my song, They’ll take, and never see the wrong. For in this mask, I walk alone, A phantom lost upon his throne. (Chorus) I gave them wonder, gave them fear, But still, they only saw the mirror. A voice so sweet, a face unknown, A power claimed, yet not my own. The mask behind the magic stands, A servant in a foreign land. (Bridge) In every stone, in every sound, I shape their dreams, but I am bound. They cannot see the man inside, The scars I bear, the fears I hide. The khanum smiles, the shah commands, But in their court, I take my stand. I wield their hearts, their minds, their fears, Yet still, the phantom disappears. (Chorus) I gave them wonder, gave them fear, But still, they only saw the mirror. A voice so sweet, a face unknown, A power claimed, yet not my own. The mask behind the magic stands, A servant in a foreign land. (Outro) But in the end, my time was brief, When Nadir came and gave relief. Through loyalty, through friendship’s plea, He saved my soul and set me free. The court may scream, the shah may call, But now I’m free from it all. And though they bow, and though they cheer, The phantom’s heart is ever clear. Behind the mask, behind the flame, Forever lost within my name.
