Lyrics
[verse]
Strings are pulling tighter every day
Something else decides the words I say
Traded freedom for a fleeting high
Now the puppeteer controls the sky
[verse]
Promised comfort, promised endless light
Now the shadows own my every night
Every step I take was planned before
I'm just dancing on somebody's floor
[chorus]
Master of puppets, pulling every string
Master of puppets, hollow is the king
I obey the hand that I can't see
Master of puppets, taking hold of me
[verse]
I remember when the choice was mine
Now I'm bound by an invisible line
Every promise turned into a chain
Feeding on my will and feeding on my pain
[chorus]
Master of puppets, pulling every string
Master of puppets, hollow is the king
I obey the hand that I can't see
Master of puppets, taking hold of me
[bridge]
Cut the strings before it's all consumed
Break the hand before I'm fully doomed
No more dancing to a stranger's tune
I will rise before the fall of noon
[chorus]
Master of puppets, pulling every string
Master of puppets, hollow is the king
I obey the hand that I can't see
Master of puppets, taking hold of me
