Dead Marionette

Set the stage

Strip away all cognizant roles

Enter the void where dreams die

Twist

Mutate

Come back as some maligned puppet

I see the plagues you unleash

A destroyer of sense

Dedicated to seduce your own ego

Torture those who question your rule

But you're only a pawn

And the show must go on

Ephialtes grows powerful

The puppets turn on their owner

The lust for blood grows

The guillotine sings its mocking song

In the end, you fall to your own hubris

A cyclical torment you're doomed to repeat

You won't wake from this

You live it every day
