The light of day upon the Earth Death and decay to mark our birth We make the pain, sadness, and disdain We make our lives a maddening cry
In a madman's world - we play the parts Puppets of flesh - with electronic hearts
Strings are severed - now all is severed
Sown shut eyes - no longer seeing Words that tie - no longer binding Life "inside" makes the soul drain Life "outside" is a lash of pain
Look to the gods for light But they bless only with fear Like a "thief" in the night They brought the misery here This diseased theology Is an infection in us all We call ourselves "erect" But we can only crawl...
Walk with me through the valley Of broken dreams And hopes are crushed by Madness and pain You inflict as you turn The key to unlock A world of shit and greed Cut the strings again All is severed
