Marionette |
Twisted strangers |
Have gone to war |
Oxygen drunk |
Fall bleeding to the floor |
Glass eyed creatures |
Fragmented features |
Piecing together |
Fallen warriors |
A revolution |
For the maiden queen |
(And I can see) |
Sherwood Forest |
Or an African scene |
The Marionette |
She has velvet claws |
She pulls the strings |
In this city of whores |
The Marionette pulls the strings |
You say "yes" |
You bend, she wins |
The Marionette pulls the strings |
Pulls and pulls |
'Til your spirit gives in |
Gruelling hot sweat |
In the land of a whore |
Oh, will this be war? |
Oh, will this be war? |
The knave and the pawn |
Ripen the whore |
With bastard sons |
Her brats of law |
The hawk and the falcon |
Swoop to blind their eyes |
The reaper, she laughs |
She chokes, she cries |
The Marionette pulls the strings |
You say "yes" |
You bend, she wins |
The Marionette pulls the strings |
Pulls and pulls |
'Til your spirit gives in |
Foaming white horses |
Cracking their sinews |
For the Maidens of Troy |
The bell tower falls |
Pouring to the floor |
Whoa, love and death |
A climax all in all |
Medieval shores and madrigals |
Her velvet claws |
Pull you with passion to her floor |
In the cathedral |
Her children sing |
In the cathedral |
The pendulum swings |
The Marionette pulls the strings |
You say "yes" |
You bend, she wins |
The Marionette pulls the strings |
Pulls and pulls |
'Til your spirit gives in |
The Marionette pulls the strings |
You say "yes" |
You bend, she wins |
The Marionette pulls the strings |
Pulls and pulls |
'Til your spirit gives in |
