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 |
