Andreas Skotadis - Puppetmaster Lyrics

I wake to find the strings are tight
Tangled deep in hands not mine
Marionette in hollow light
Dancing on a fate designed

Step in line, the show must start
Bow your head, play your part
A hand unseen pulls tight the thread
I move, I laugh, but I am dead

Twist and turn, don't break, don't fall
Sing and dance, obey the call
The puppet master grins so wide
With hollow hands and hollow eyes

He pulls the strings, I spin, I sway
And whispers, you were born to play
A wooden heart, a painted face
A smile carved that won't erase

The more I fight, the tighter drawn
Till every thought of mine is gone
The others waltz in twisted grace
Their voices lost, their names erased

Their lips don't move, yet still they cry
A hollow choir, so do I
Twist and turn, don't break, don't fall
Sing and dance, obey the call

The puppet master grins so wide
With hollow hands and hollow eyes
He pulls the strings, I spin, I sway
And whispers, you were born to play

Cut the cords, the limbs still shake
No escape, no hands to break
I'm free, I twist, I turn
The stage is gone, still I return

The show goes on, the lines were made
The marionettes still play the game
The hand unseen, the voice solo
Still whispers, dance, don't ever go

Instrumental
Cut the cords, the limbs still shake
No escape, no hands to break
Even free, I twist, I turn

The stage is gone, still I return
The show goes on, the lines were made
The marionettes still play the game
The hand unseen, the voice solo

Still whispers, dance, don't ever go
