Lyrics

Transcribed by me, Rain, with a little help from Kevin* and Margie**. Thanks, amigos!!

Only the last verse is featured in the opening titles.

 

CHORUS:
Behind the mask
Is a secret life
Behind the mask
There’s a hero’s eyes
Beauty can be a disguise
Hiding a warrior inside
Behind the mask
Behind the mask

Passion burns hot
Through her gypsy soul as she takes control
Of her private war
Which is won through the edge of a sword**

BTM chorus

She fights for the weak
With a will of steel making her dreams real
For she must decieve
To get to her true destiny

Oye me bien** [Hear me well]
Ella lucho con todo con mucho valor** [She fights with/for everything, with great courage]

Everyone of us hides in our own way*
Our mask may not be seen
But it’s there just the same

Ella pelea por los derechos de todos** [She fights for the rights of all]

Behind the Mask
Burns a secret life
Behind the Mask
There’s a hero’s eyes
Everyone wears a disguise
We’ve all got secrets to hide
Behind the Mask
Oye me, te digo [Here me, I’m telling you]
Mira detrás de cada careta [Look behind the mask]
