Lyrics to Puppet King

A world ruled by a puppet king

With wooden glazed eyes, only hollow within

One hand raised high to inspire the masses

The other hand behind his back

Fingers crossed and ready to crack

High above in the shadows

The puppet king strings rise

To the windigo's cold grasp

And the truth that's hidden from their eyes.

And it laughs to itself

As it pulls on his strings

It whispers in the kings ear

'Soon our strings will grow and touch everything'

Riches and greed is how we'll deceive

Said the voice from the Shadows

Their hearts and their minds will soon concede

If we promise them a life of ease

Sure enough came the people

Frenzied and willing

To do anything for their king

As long as he's still giving

So they stood up in their lines

Waiting to receive but

Little did they know this tempting show

Would bring them to their knees.

And it laughs to itself

As it pulls on his strings

It whispers in the kings ear

'Soon our strings will grow and touch everything'

Everything

Everything

The people shouted out to their king

As they fell to theirs knees

They said 'how could you let this happen?'

'How could you just let this be?'

But the words were lost inside

The puppet kings hollow hide

And the fingers still behind his back

Began to split, splinter, snap and crack

Then out came the demon said I have you all

It's taken some time and my cunning mind

But now I have you all

Well the people pulled on their ropes

With all of their might

But there's no use to fuss and fight

Cos he has you all

Now he has you all
