Lyrics
The Awakening
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Empty words, gestures and promises
As a part of the madman game
Deception and extortion, the essential
Tools for control, for control
Spineless acts of betrayal, no matter the cost
A tied noose around the neck
Waiting for the final touch
A distorted reality, lacking a flash of clarity
Puppets in jester suites lead by the invisible hand
There is no awakening
A planted seed of deceit for the trusting fool
The ignorant deserves nothing
But to be drained (to be drained)
Spineless acts of betrayal, no matter the cost
A tied noose around the neck
Waiting for the final touch
A distorted reality, lacking a flash of clarity
Puppets in jester suites lead by the invisible hand
There's no awakening
Spineless acts of betrayal, no matter the cost
A tied noose around the neck
Waiting for the final touch
A distorted reality, lacking a flash of clarity
Puppets in jester suites lead by the invisible hand
There's no awakening
