Welcome to the Puppet Show
Life in tatters
Blood on the floor
Voices scream, “Nothin’ Matters!”
Death screams for more.
Confusion by the box load
Dumped on every one
Deafened by the noise
ya never see us come …
It’s just another show.
Yeah, welcome to the puppet show
Strings yanked every day.
Listen to the puppet leader;
He’ll show you how to play.
When his string is yanked
Everybody do the same!
Throw your hands above your head!
C’mon, it’s just a game!
When they open up his mouth
Your mouth opens, too.
And when they leave him in a pile
That means, ‘Die on cue.’
But most often
The shifty puppetteer,
The only one you see…
Listens to your questions
On your life he’ll try to feed.
So you never saw us coming,
but one day you will learn
When the puppet’s strings are gone
And his soul we finally burn…
We’ll turn our eyes on you.
We lust to have you see
the face of true damnation
And how loud your screams can be.
You think that sounds terrible?
You think that sounds, cruel?
Don’t look at me, you let me rule.
You had a way out
but you bought the fake.
Now I’m here, your soul to take.
Still confused? Let me be clear.
Your eternal death lies
in a full length mirror.
