A world ruled by a puppet king With wooden glazed eyes, only hollow within One hand raised high to inspire the masses The other hand behind his back Fingers crossed and ready to crack High above in the shadows The puppet king strings rise To the windigo's cold grasp And the truth that's hidden from their eyes. And it laughs to itself As it pulls on his strings It whispers in the kings ear 'Soon our strings will grow and touch everything' Riches and greed is how we'll deceive Said the voice from the Shadows Their hearts and their minds will soon concede If we promise them a life of ease Sure enough came the people Frenzied and willing to do anything for their king As long as he's still giving So they stood up in their lines waiting to receive but little did they know this tempting show Songtextewould bring them to their knees. And it laughs to itself As it pulls on his strings It whispers in the kings ear 'Soon our strings will grow and touch everything' Everything Everything The people shouted out to their king As they fell to theirs knees They said 'how could you let this happen?' 'how could you just let this be?' But the words were lost inside The puppet kings hollow hide and the fingers still behind his back began to split, splinter, snap and crack Then out came the demon said I have you all Its taken some time and my cunning mind But now I have you all Well the people pulled on their ropes with all of their might but there's no use to fuss and fight cos he has you all Now he has you all Aus Songtexte Mania
