[Verse 1]
Tangled in wires of iron
Strangled by strings of despair
The rusted needle of your compass crumbled into dust
You waste of hate are a shame to yourself
The curtain fell
The play begins
Your naked carcass is exposed
[Chorus]
Dance for the lord of broken souls
The one, that sets the rhythm you obey
Your life lies in his hands
Hear and fear the mocking child's laugh
[Verse 2]
All the marks that you’ve left were swallowed by the tides
You're nothing more but a ghost from the past
Your life has left you in the dark
Now strings come sprouting from your hands
[Chorus]
Dance for the lord of broken souls
The one, that sets the rhythm you obey
Your life lies in his hands
Hear and fear the mocking child's laugh
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Give up on this worthless struggle
You’ve delivered your soul to the deepest of black
Let go of your last hopes
From now on the great show-maker will make your lifeless moves
Hear the craving of the doll
One cut will settle this once and for all
[Instrumental Breakdown with "And for all" within]
[Alternate Chorus]
Nigh is the end of this dread show
And so the master's rhythm will stagnate
Now the scissors come to cut your strings
The magic fades away
