We Wear the Mask by Paul Laurence Dunbar - TeraBrite | Pop Punk Version

We Wear the Mask by Paul Laurence Dunbar in the form of a Pop Punk song with female vocals by TeraBrite!

We Wear the Mask
By Paul Laurence Dunbar (1872-1906)

We wear the mask that grins and lies,
It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes,—
This debt we pay to human guile;
With torn and bleeding hearts we smile,
And mouth with myriad subtleties.

Why should the world be over-wise,
In counting all our tears and sighs?
Nay, let them only see us,while
We wear the mask.

We smile, but, O great Christ, our cries
To thee from tortured souls arise.
We sing, but oh the clay is vile
Beneath our feet, and long the mile;
But let the world dream otherwise,
We wear the mask!

Please don't point out all of the flaws in this video. We know they are there. This video was shot and edited in less than 2 hours! That's a record! It was put together just in time for a creative presentation that both of us have for English class TODAY. Yes, we are those people that do everything last minute...

We did this to exemplify the precision of the rhythm and rhyme that Paul Laurence Dunbar uses in "We Wear the Mask." In fact, this poem is so rhythmic; we completed this song in less than a day with hardly any troubles. We were forced to omit one line for the sake of the songs musical flow, but it would be fairly simple to arrange the song in a way that will allow for the line to be there musically if we had more time to rerecord everything.

We are thinking about fixing a lot of flaws we noticed in the song and video and uploading a second version. The only reason we posted it without fixing everything is because of due dates!

You guys should re-record this and make a new video for it. Not that this one wasn't good but there's such a good story line for a music video in there.
