MARIONETTE LYRICS

1. The Swine

You’re all swine
You hippie scum / You fascist pig
You inbred brat
You white trash bitch / I hate you
Hate what you make me become
I hate you for making me hate
For turning me into you
For not being better than this
Not better than you
How I loathe your ignorant gluttonous smile
As you suck on the puss-dripping tits of the world
Fat and white
And your crimes will feed the masters
And your words will please them all
For you apathy is virtue
For you freedom is when you conform
You never stood up when they pushed him
Mocked her / kicked him / raped her / hurt him
Told her it was her own fault and made her lie
You never questioned when they filled our heads with
Docu-drama-tv-contest-idol-this-is-girl-and-this-is-boy

2. Silver Spoon

To you we’re worth what we can spend on filth
Know you are the worm that wears mankind’s skin
Scarring us with brands and magazines
Breeding us to be your whores / be your things
Know we will slit your throats with your own credit cards
Because money is still power / because power still corrupts
And corruption showed you how the human dignity is sold
And your crime is that you trade it
That your world is like the old
We’re all raped
Every day we’re raped by the silver spoon
Every time we envy the things you've got
Every time you treat girls as pets and pets as boys
Every time we realize we want to be like you
Now we must slit their throats with their own credit cards
If you think that we’re all equal now, then take a closer look
‘cause the wealthy rule as always
Just more subtle and disguised
As gods of the new religion / built from our own greed and lies

3. Stench Of The Herd

I can’t breathe the air that you poison / I get sick from watching you crawl
You don’t try to rise from sewage / You won’t even learn to walk
Here in the dark / trapped between flesh / drowning in the herd
Enemy / enemy / so you play the part that they gave you / know your place
And you never ask ‘em those questions to their face
The radio serves you music; why should you look for more?
The tv serves you truth and there is always someone else in charge
You’ve got your porn and beer and friends and nothing changes anyway
Just keep those minorities weird and far away
Here in the dark / trapped between flesh / drowning in the herd
Enemy / enemy / so you play the part that they gave you / know your place
And you learn to separate us from them
Safe in normality upon your couch you judge the rest
And you sure heard those goth kids love to cut themselves
And those damn feminists should shut up and get over it
And those damn darkies should enjoy this place or move right back
They grew you fat for a reason / and I’ll make sure slaughter is the season
Over the grunting of the herd I hear the butcher’s feet
The storm is coming / I won’t listen when you weep

4. Anthropomorphism

My faceless enemy / it’s anonymity / I must break you
I must be free / my faceless enemy / can’t let you get to me
I am myself / I am my will / and I can’t dress like you
I can’t fit in like you / my faceless enemy
And it’s conformity / I’m lying trampled underneath
My faceless enemy / why won’t you let me be?
I must remember that I’m me / fuck you / crawling on all fours
And you want me down there with you
Being less than me / less that what I know / fuck you
Cornered by the herd / cornered by the herd
I can’t escape from you / and I can’t hide from you
And I can’t beat you all / I can’t defeat you all
Cornered by the herd / losing my pearls again
Cornered by the herd / as I become like them
Fuck you / crawling on all fours / and you drag me
Down there with you / being less than me / less than
What I know / fuck you / I am too tired now / my
Strength is running out / and I can’t hold ‘em off
I guess it ain’t too bad, but then again I can’t
Remember who I am / fuck me / crawling on all fours
Guess that I am down here with you / being less than me
Less than what I know / fuck me

5. Unman

I will become your new reason to hide / I am vengeance
I’m pride / I am justice at last / you slip between the cracks
Ignore your crimes / they won’t blame the nice white guy
They won’t trust the slutty girls and it’s too late for her
Bet she deserved it / what did she expect?
The way of the world
I will become your new reason to hide / I am vengeance
I’m pride / I am justice at last
Of course she wants it when she’s dressed like that
Drinking what you buy / raised to laugh at jokes you tell her
Raised to smile
Bet she deserved it / what did she expect?
The way of the world
… and cut your skin like you cut hers
We’ll cut your skin like you cut hers

6. Hatelust

I shaped my fingertips to claws and won’t caress no more
I shaped my tongue into a blade I can’t speak no more
I shaped each word into a bullet and I fired them all
I am the gun / I am the knife / I am the fist
I am the flame that burns / absolute / pure
And there is nothing left now / for I’ve consumed it all
Faced my hate / faced myself / I can’t win against hate
The flame that burns / absolute / pure
Faced myself / all alone against this nuclear bomb
I am a frail shell
Inside me only fire and it burns / white / pure
Oh glorious hate / I am you / I am hell
I am pure / what I was is all gone
Burnt away by the bomb

7. The Slaughter

[Instrumental]

8. The Lie

Empty and alone / every bridge is burning and I know
Every book is closed / all is said and done / so what have I become?
Crippled and decaying / I’m the lowest of the low / so what have I become?
Wrecked by my anger / worse than you all / and I turned into ashes
Every nerve went numb / every fire faded out
Now I know nothing’s true / everything is gone
I can never beat you and I know that I have become you after all
I cursed you and I screamed
Words of red and black / death unto us all
Death ‘cause we deserve it / for our hidden crimes
For the broken girls / for the quiet boys that keep me pushing till they’re monsters
And cannot fight years of man-made rules shaping us to swine
Each one an accomplice / every bloodstained hand trained to wield the knives
Squealing in the dark as we are butchering each other
Giggling at our screens / meaningless and fat / rolling in the dirt
Thinking that we’re different / that we play a part
But there is no truth / we are never different / and there is no truth

9. Your Hands

Goddamn you all / I told you to leave it alone / they’ll mock you
They’ll cut you until you become like them / like me
Alone, because I hated them so
I hated, but I just couldn't beat them
I know I tried and tried but there’ll always be more
And hate hollows you out till you can’t feel anymore
Maybe you’re right / maybe we’re stronger now
There’s only one way to find out
Your hands reach out for mine
Your hands demand I rise / against the world
It sounds so beautiful when spoken by you
Deep within me there is something that stirs
You make me burn / make me remember those words
Your hands / warm around mine / they guide me to the light
And now I know we’ll lead the way
We’ll make a truth / we’ll make them pay
Dead boys and girls / I knew you’d rise
Your hands / beating my heart / to reignite the spark
Our hands / they wielded knives / now they will give us life

10. Creatures

Someday they’ll get you / someday you’ll see like their eyes do
Someday their ignorance and expectations will change you
Someday might be today / your final day as yourself / someday
Someday you’ll realize that every fire faded and every secret went away
And all the creatures died / just like the woods that were alive
And all the colors and the magic starved to death with age
Today you take it back / today you burn their sickness / today
Tear them down / tear them down / this is your final war
Burn their lies / the truth is in your heart
They want to see you blend into their crowds and silence
They want to see your soul decay
Tear them down / tear them down / this is your final war
Burn their lies / the truth is in your heart
Change this world / change yourself / it is the only way
Purge yourself of their fear and burn away their hate

11. Through Veils

Like tides we twist and we turn / through nerves
Dead moments and chemical burns
and bitterness breeds in the hearts of the brave
our visions of clarity fool us to hate
blood on the streets
we won’t pity mankind
all this is in vain / all this is illusion
But we don’t give a fuck tonight
We are the flesh / we are the truth
Truth we make / so know the night always comes
For us to be what we really are
As fire devours the face of time
So we shall ravage this land of swine
Blood on the streets
We don’t pity mankind
And tonight we ride
All this is in vain / all this is illusion
But we don’t give a fuck tonight
We are the flesh / we are the truth
Truth we make / know this is in vain
See through this illusion
So we can forge new truth from sin
From what they told you was forbidden

12. Their Knives

We fall from what we knew / from what we were
From what they made us / from the herd
They move like smoke to choke
Us with their words
To judge us for our worth
This time they’ll never see us crawl
They know how one gets back into the fold
Silent agreements all untold
They know the rules
That no one speaks out loud
The rules we broke by being strong
Never again
We’ll never be like them
We’ll never wield their knives again
For we have learned from every scar
Of weaknesses in their hollow hearts
Of how the masses cut the few
And carve their hatred into you
Never again
We’ll never be like them
We’ll never wield their knives again
This time they’ll never see us crawl
So rise up
This is our way / the truth we made

13. The Truth

We breathe light / once again but always like the first time
Burning in our glory / we breathe light
We breathe light / once again we soar above the swine
Strife took us here / we’ll never look behind
It’s our time fallen ones / it’s our time morning stars
To rise brighter than the sun
We counted the knives in our backs
And we took a vow / we’re in this together
We go for the throat
We counted our enemies but already knew we’re always outnumbered
Never outgunned / we breathe light
In the dawn we thirst for their demise
Pride rips through us and calls us to the fight
We breathe light
Purified we’re everything they despise
They whisper our names with fear tonight
It’s our time fallen ones / it’s our time morning stars
To rise / reach above the herd
For this night makes us shine
Brighter than the sun
We counted the knives in our backs and we took a vow
We’re in this together
We go for the throat
We counted our enemies but already knew we’re always outnumbered
Never outgunned
