Jon Kenzie - Puppet King Lyrics
A world ruled by a puppet kingWith wooden glazed eyes, only hollow withinOne hand raised high to inspire the massesThe other hand behind his backFingers crossed and ready to crackHigh above in the shadowsThe puppet king strings riseTo the windigo's cold graspAnd the truth that's hidden from their eyes.And it laughs to itselfAs it pulls on his stringsIt whispers in the kings ear'Soon our strings will grow and touch everything'Riches and greed is how we'll deceiveSaid the voice from the ShadowsTheir hearts and their minds will soon concedeIf we promise them a life of easeSure enough came the peopleFrenzied and willingTo do anything for their kingAs long as he's still givingSo they stood up in their linesWaiting to receive butLittle did they know this tempting showWould bring them to their knees.And it laughs to itselfAs it pulls on his stringsIt whispers in the kings ear'Soon our strings will grow and touch everything'EverythingEverythingThe people shouted out to their kingAs they fell to theirs kneesThey said 'how could you let this happen?''How could you just let this be?'But the words were lost insideThe puppet kings hollow hideAnd the fingers still behind his backBegan to split, splinter, snap and crackThen out came the demon said I have you allIt's taken some time and my cunning mindBut now I have you allWell the people pulled on their ropesWith all of their mightBut there's no use to fuss and fightCos he has you allNow he has you all
