Marionettes

Truth in redemption's pyre

Scorched out, no longer in life

Awaiting these souls on fire

In life, there's no brighter side

Once hateful as all its slaves

More fertile than its enemies

Impossible to control

But still a reason for us to live on

Keep away from scarecrows dreams

Dismay feeds all these marionettes

See the truth and manipulation

With lies they breed all these marionettes

Truth over denial inside a thought bleaker than life

Lustre of all that remains is the day

when we all are the same

Adapted to black, still on way down

Beyond redemption in a state stronger than hate

Truth over all dreams

Deceit to feed the desolated breed

The point of all that's been done

Is the moment we all are gathered as one
