LYRICS:

Marionettes (I. The Discovery Of Strings)

Master,
I think you owe them an answer
You’ve become so complacent
And they’re becoming impatient

Vandal,
You left their strings in a tangle
Since you turned to the liquor
Their eyes are starting to flicker…

Thunder,
They look up and they wonder
Are they controlled by the heavens?
They start to question their essence

Get it together
You know there’s only one minute
Or they’re gonna discover
They’re gonna uncover

Sober,
Oh god I wish this was over
After dark and it’s lights out
They can’t believe their own eyes now
Marionettes (II. The Ascent)

Looking up and gripping their strings
They ask “Where do they lead?”

“Climb! Climb!
Search and seek!
We will test this ‘truth’ you speak!”

By the sweat of one’s brow
Thou shall eat bread
But curiosity began to creep
From underneath the bed
Of toil and doctrine
And the marionettes awaken
Into a nightmare…

Now we see the warning sign
We’ll disobey our Frankenstein
I keep my focus, keep my cool
The higher we go, climbing up to heaven
Or a hell or maybe something inconceivable
It used to be unspeakable
We snatch back our strings
And as the freedom bell rings
They start to sing

“Reveal yourself, reveal yourself
The world that you created
is not mightier
than our means to remake it!”

Our minds are firewood
And now we spark the match
We set ourselves alight
Escape this childhood
And now we spark the match
We set ourselves alight

Oh, truth hurts.
Now you know - truth frees.
