MARIONETTE LYRICS

1. Parasite

From every frightened failure,
You learned to fear the brave.
And for your every weakness,
You learned to find someone to blame.
You make me scream. You make me sick.
How you oppress by your submission,
And how your justice is defined,
As forcing me to be your equal.
We will not derail
For your mistakes you want us all to fail.
You want to turn our pride to shame
But I refuse not to do my best.
I won't shut up. I won't sit still.
For what you feed on you are the parasite.
For your crimes against will and freedom,
I dub you parasite.
I see it in your eyes
The eyes of a beggar

To feel guilty for my strife
I hear you rationalizing with blunt thoughts and words
Hear you try disguise jealousy as pure morality
and you fail to see how you abuse and twist what empathy's supposed to be
Curse you bastard!

You make me scream. You make me sick.
The way you want to be a victim,
and how you hate the ones who dare
for what their actions say ' bout you

For what you feed on, you are the parasite
For your crimes against will and freedom,
I dub you parasite.
And I promise you will never have what's mine
You will never have what's mine

Parasite

(We will not, derail)

For what you feed on you are the parasite
For your crimes against will and freedom
I dub you parasite
And I promise you will never have what's mine
You will never have what's mine

2. Legion

The bastards tell you that this world won't have a place for you,
But the decaying and your word
Just make them scared of what you'll do.

They try to blind you with shallowness and screens.
They try to tell you who you are and tell you what you believe

Learn how to serve, how to slave, how to kneel.
From their mouths you see the gray pour out,
Forming shackles for your heart and for your thoughts

Learn how to serve, how to slave, how to kneel or
Be the cure to their sickness,
Be the new to purge the old.
Be the flame in the darkness,
Be the rising legion.

They make it seem like it's your nature to submit.
To be another cog in the machine that reproduces all their shit.
But the storm inside you will tear their skin apart,
And expose the dead flesh underneath
So you can see just what they are.

Learn how to serve, how to slave, how to kneel.

But we will never be like them.
Another thought that powers the machinery.
We are thousands (triggers army)
We are legion.

Never to serve or to slave or to kneel

Be the cure to their sickness,
Be the new to purge the old.
Be the flame in the darkness,
Be the rising legion.
Be the cure to their sickness,
Be the new to purge the old.
Be the flame in the darkness,
Be the rising legion.

3. Release

Then one day she took our days.
Made them crippled with decay.
"Write a song for me" she said, "lest you will forget."
"Go. Sever the ties" she said
"Break every chain you've made so you can find release"
So your heart makes the world turn black.
So with it's death, our love makes the world turn back.

Until you find someone that never turns away,
This will be your release.
Until I turn away.
And you won't find someone that never turns away.
So I will be your release,
Until I turn away from you.

Time is smeared across her eyes.
And her gaze brings time to life.
Pictures of that hand in mine, hand in mine.
"Pain is only words" she said,
"Pain is the chain you've made, so you won't find release".
So you choke on desires lies.
So with it's death, you will choke on desires lies.

Until you find someone that never turns away,
This will be your release.
Until I turn away.
And you won't find someone that never turns away.
So I will be your release,
Until I turn away from you.

Every curse in every language for you, my love.

I feel I'm ready to fall.

I'll carve my name into your bones and sew you shut.

I won't stay here, I'm not blind.

Until you find someone that never turns away,
This will be your release.
Until I turn away.
And you won't find someone that never turns away.
So I will be your release,
Until I turn away from you.

4. Flies

Starving pulse
hungering
starving flesh
and I smell her skin
like funeral flowers as terror lets me in
and the flies
sing for us
and the worms
hear our vows

Two fates are sealed
fingertips caress and decay
while shadows of promises hide the coming day
and the flies
sing for us
and the worms
hear our vows

and I know she's the end
but I can't help myself

spiraling into her
her tongue feels like a blade
spiraling forever
we will destroy ourselves
we're becoming our end

starving pulse
trembling skin
whispering
promises of sin
I close her eyes
grab her throat
to give her the ring
and the flies
sing for us
and the worms
hear our vows

in this dead garden
we shall grow
while our cold eyes reflect what we know;
that tomorrow is a lie
that the face of love
kills with a smile

spiraling into her
her tongue feels like a blade
spiraling forever
we will destroy ourselves
we're becoming our end

5. Closed Doors

When you're alone all that time pulls you inside,
Deeper into what has shaped you.
Into the joy of cursed teenager night,
Into the first kiss, the first blood.

But all that time has gone away.
This is hour zero.
All those moments went away,
To where moments go.

Never fool yourself,
Making the past present.
Keep those doors closed and locked.
Keep those doors closed and locked.

So many lives that have collided with yours.
So many seconds of splendor.
And you loose yourself into what's been,
Into haunted rooms.

Keep those doors closed and locked.
Keep those doors closed and locked.

There is nothing but the now.
Don't resurrect the forgotten,
Or the dead will start dragging you,
Down into your skull.

6. Burn Me

Your eyes are love and war,
Ablaze with spite and proud to fall.
Like mine, so make it count.
The time has come, this night is ours.

These hearts – alive.
They make us gods.

So rise up, arms outstretched and showing teeth and sweat.
Shout.
Scream as we combust.

Take me into your hearts.
Swallow me in the fire.
Where I will kiss your scars.
Swallow me in the fire, right now.

A spark to bring you in.
Ignite cold broken limbs,
And burn with horror's joy.
I see you shine.
Let's make it count.

These hearts – alive.
They make us gods.

So rise up, over all the torment and the strain of
Life the way it seems before you found this
Flame of joy, and hate, and hunger as one,
Burn me with your love.
All we have is now
All we have is now

Take me into your hearts.
Swallow me in the fire.
Where I will kiss your scars.
Swallow me in the fire.
(Take me into your heart!)
Swallow me in the fire.
Where I will kiss your scars.
Swallow me in the fire.

7. In Spite

They never knew us.
They just wanted us to bear their shame.
To see us kneeling,
But in spite, I whisper your name.
And I know, they can't make you crawl,
'Cause you're unbreakable.

We're hand in hand, against this world.
Your hand in mine.
In spite.
In love.
And tonight we will turn our backs against them.
We will walk away.

Burn these dying streets,
With the stains on our sheets.

We're hand in hand, against this world.
Your hand in mine.
In spite.
In love.
And tonight we will turn our backs against them.
We will walk away.

8. To Make Men

Darkness to cover up,
This accident of flesh and skin.
Darkness, black as her torn hair against his fist.
And the fibers underneath her fingernails,
Will tell us tales of the malconstructed legacies
That shaped this tragedy.

From the darkness of early days,
Comes blueprints and designs.
For the darkness within each man
to harden and to hide,
And to purge all signs of weakness,
To make men out of the boys.
To remove the perceived difference,
Between girls and our toys.

So break away.
They want you to be like them,
One of them.

Darkness to cloud your mind,
And make you forget
To react as you are told.
You won't obey like them.

You won't obey like them.

And the enemies inside you,
Posing as your nature.
Trying to become you.

So break away.
They want you to be like them,
One of them.
So break away.
They want you to be like them,
One of them.

9. Dead Boy And Girls

Through the gray,
Through the black and white,
Something is hunting you down.
Something red, made of teeth and claws,
Made out of hearts.

Little boy, made of meat and snow.
Melt and become what you are.
Little boy, feel this growing storm made just for you.

All these homes,
Windows like dead eyes.
Empty lawns like empty graves.

Dead boys and girls, rise.
Dead boys and girls, rise.
Shine.

Little girl, made of hair and pearls.
Wake up and make yourself heard.
Little girl, feel the shifting world.
Make it spin, make it burn.

All these homes,
Windows like dead eyes.
Empty lawns like empty graves.
All these homes where you learn to die,
'Cause they forgot how to live.

Dead boys and girls, rise.
Dead boys and girls, rise.
Shine.

Claw through the soil.
Claw yourself out of this inherited tomb.

Dead boys and girls, rise.
Dead boys and girls, rise.
Shine.

10. This Pain That We Refuse

In vain ensnared.
In life in veins.
In days and nights,
In strife.
Against the tide we're locked inside our minds.

For all I know,
Death is the only promise we'll ever keep
But there is a way.
She makes me bleed and go insane.
There are glimpses of release.

In her truth there is a place to hide,
And there is time to be still.
So let's pretend, we’ll always have tomorrow.
In this embrace, we forget.

These veins ensnared in hers,
This skin to quench our thirst.
And though I know nothing will ever last,
We've found a way to burn, to be here.

Under a sky made of their ignorance,
There is a way to find.
To be here – now.

And all I know,
Death is the only promise we'll ever keep.
But there is a way.
She whispers lies across my lips,
There are glimpses of release.

In her truth there is a place to hide,
And there is time to be still.
So let's pretend, we’ll always have tomorrow.
In this embrace, we forget.

11. Black Hand

order, order, uniformed
their law, their word, their control
dance and laugh, pacified
dance and laugh, monitored by their
order, order, citizen
make me, make me, leaderman
we're the cracks in the wall,
we are spite, we are the burning schools

raise your voice
scream until the leaders burn
justice from a hand turned black
rasie your voice
change will come to those who search
justice from a hand turned black

break this, break them, make them pay
we can shape this, make a change
retribution for unpunished crimes
payback for our poisoned minds
we're the cracks in the wall,
we are spite, we are the burning schools

raise your voice
scream until the leaders burn
justice from a hand turned black
rasie your voice
change will come to those who search
justice from a hand turned black

12. This Is The End

There is a numbness that's weighing down on us.
A wretched gray construction made of our wealth and loss.
And to be empty seems like the drug of choice,
Against the choices that they offer us.

We fail ourselves, crawl and won't stand up
They tell us, "this is growing up."

There is a judgment that they pass down on us
When we become what they are not.
Their only weapon is pointed at our hearts,
To brand us and to shut us out.
And it will hurt and it will scar,
And they will make you the loneliest soul in the world.
But you'll shine in the fire, my witch on the pyre.
Burn into something new.

And it will hurt and it will scar,
And they will make you the loneliest soul in the world,
But you'll shine in the fire, my witch on the pyre.
Burn into something new.

This is the end of the world.
And I know it's the beginning.
This is the end of the world,
And I know it's the beginning of you.

And it will hurt and it will scar,
And they will make you the loneliest soul in the world.
And you've been hurt and you've been scarred.
They tried to make you the loneliest soul in the world,
But you shone in the fire, my witch on the pyre,
Turned yourself into you.
