Marionettes (II. The Ascent)

Looking up and gripping their strings

They ask where do they lead?

Where do they lead?

Climb! Climb!

Search and seek!

We will test this truth' you speak!

Climb! Climb!

Search and seek!

We will test this truth’ you speak!

By the sweat of one's brow

Thou shall eat bread

But curiosity began to creep

From underneath the bed

Of toil and doctrine

And the marionettes awaken

Into a nightmare

Now we see the warning sign

We'll disobey our Frankenstein

I keep my focus, keep my cool

The higher we go, climbing up to heaven

Or a hell or maybe something inconceivable

It used to be unspeakable

We snatch back our strings

And as the freedom bell rings

They start to sing

Reveal yourself, reveal yourself

The world that you created

Is not mightier

Than our means to remake it!

Our minds are firewood

And now we spark the match

We set ourselves alight

Escape this childhood

And now we spark the match

We set ourselves alight

We set ourselves alight

Our minds are firewood

And now we spark the match

We set ourselves alight

Oh, truth hurts

Now you know - truth frees

Oh, truth hurts

Now you know - truth frees

Our minds are firewood

And now we spark the match

We set ourselves alight

Escape this childhood

And now we spark the match

We set ourselves alight

(Oh, truth hurts.)

We set ourselves alight

(Now you know - truth frees.)

(Oh, truth hurts.)

Our minds are firewood

And now we spark the match

(Now you know - truth frees.)

We set ourselves alight

Truth hurts

Now you know - truth frees

Truth hurts

Now you know - truth frees

Truth hurts

Now you know - truth frees

Truth hurts

Now you know - truth frees

Truth hurts

Now you know - truth frees
