The Puppeteer
Alesana

I welcome you to paradise!

It’s what you wished for

A mountain of filth haunted by tortured shrieks of the dead!

I know you’ll love it here!


Time stops and once again I’m stranded nowhere

And yet again I’m so confused

Why stop?

It honestly can’t get much worse and I’m better off here than on my own


Step right up, come one and all!

I will be your host tonight!

Welcome to the dreams of hell!

You’re in for a wild ride!


It’s strange but I feel right at home

It’s odd but I don’t want to go

Am I a fool? Am I crazy to want to stay? Do I belong?

Another time, another place? This will do just fine


Foolish mortal, what did you think?

That you’d shackle the hands of time?

And defeat the Gods themselves?

Sweet vanity you’re my favorite sin!

Swallow mountains and choke on them

Then drown yourself on Lazarus

Spread your wings and grab the sun

Sweet vanity you’re my favorite sin!


Pretty lady let’s dance!

I bet you thought that you could choose to leave?

Everybody is dead!

You’re all alone and I’m the one, the only one! Yea!


I’ll do whatever it takes

Oh, what’s another mistake


Back and forth and upside down as we laugh ourselves to sleep

We’re trying to escape

An evil place so full of wonder taking a hold of me...


Feeling the pressure, I should be over you

Slave to the pleasure, I can’t get over you

Tonight we’ll try to pretend that we’re alright, yea

Say its forever, don’t let me fade away



Everything’s gone, everything’s lost

What have I done? Can it be undone?

Where did you go? Will I find you?

This is our home, sweet home. The canvas went up in flames


Pretty lady let’s dance!

I bet you thought that you could choose to leave?

Everybody is dead!

You’re all alone and I’m the one, the only one! Yea!


I’ll do whatever it takes

Oh, what’s another mistake


Back and forth and upside down as we laugh ourselves to sleep

We’re trying to escape

An evil place so full of wonder taking a hold of me...


Feeling the pressure, I should be over you

Slave to the pleasure, I can’t get over you

Tonight we’ll try to pretend that we’re alright, yea

Say its forever, don’t let me fade away

I’m everything you want, I’m everything you need

You’re everything to me, don’t let me fade away


Foolish mortal, what did you think?

That you’d shackle the hands of time?

And defeat the Gods themselves?

Sweet vanity you’re my favorite sin!

Swallow mountains and choke on them

Then drown yourself on Lazarus

Spread your wings and grab the sun

Sweet vanity you’re my favorite sin!


Parting is such sweet sorrow

Come back to me soon my dear

I will be counting the days

Farewell my love

This is our home, sweet home

Drench yourself in the cries of the damned!

Spill their blood!

Bathe in bliss as we torture the sane!

Help me, God!
