Marionettes (II. The Ascent)

(album: Nothing Is True & Everything Is Possible - 2020)

Looking up and gripping their strings
They ask where do they lead?
Where do they lead?

Climb! Climb! Search and seek!
We will test this truth you speak!
Climb! Climb! Search and seek!
We will test this truth you speak!

By the sweat of one's brow thou shall eat bread
But curiosity began to creep from underneath the bed
Of toil and doctrine and the marionettes awaken
Into a nightmare

Now we see the warning sign
We'll disobey our Frankenstein
I keep my focus, keep my cool
The higher we go
Climbing up to heaven or a hell
Or maybe something inconceivable
It used to be unspeakable
We snatch back our strings

And as the freedom bell rings
They start to sing

Reveal yourself, reveal yourself
The world that you created
Is not mightier
Than our means to remake it!

Our minds are firewood
And now we spark the match
We set ourselves alight
Escape this childhood
And now we spark the match
We set ourselves alight
We set ourselves alight
Our minds are firewood
And now we spark the match
We set ourselves alight

Oh, truth hurts
Now you know truth frees
Oh, truth hurts
Now you know truth frees

Our minds are firewood
And now we spark the match
We set ourselves alight
Escape this childhood
And now we spark the match
We set ourselves alight
We set ourselves alight
Our minds are firewood
And now we spark the match
We set ourselves alight

Truth hurts
Now you know truth frees
Truth hurts
Now you know truth frees
Truth hurts
Now you know truth frees
Truth hurts
Now you know truth frees
Truth hurts
Now you know truth frees
