Songtexte

Born in chains; all face the wall
Figures dance and play
The fire flickers, shadows fall
A theatre of our lives again
Don’t turn your eyes,
The mannequin of flame absolves
The lady on the river,
She cracked the mirror for us all
Watch the shadow puppets play
Where the figures never change
And the light remains the same
You watched the shadow puppets play
Though figures never changed
Stoke the fire for the puppets of the cave
Escape from the shadows
But the light will blind your eyes
Crawl back to the darkness
Scream that what you see is lies!
You climb, the air grows strong
The sunset bathes your mind
Reflections on the water
A mirror of a world deprived
Watch the shadow puppets play
Where the figures never change
And the light remains the same
You watched the shadow puppets play
Though figures never changed
Stoke the fire for the puppets of the cave
Follow the lines, see them forging on ahead
Fires they will die and the sun will set
Focus your mind, compass set now to your death
When you read from the walls of the cave
Magpies, mirrors, maids of brides
Cracks in pavements, cat’s nine lives
Lucky horseshoes, rabbit paws
Heather hanging on our doors
And would you stir up widdershins?
Carve the witch-post cross as the fire dims?
Close the window to the sparrow-call
The man you passed on the stairs wasn’t there at all
Idle hands do Devil’s bidding
Scent of burning sage leaves ridding
Homesteads of the evil souls
Who cast their shadows in the cold
Close the door to gypsy’s warning
Red sky at dawn to curse the morning
Ere the toll bell eerie rings
And would you stir up widdershins?
…would you stir up widdershins?
…would you stir up widdershins?
Blessed by change; the journey ends
The brave new world begins
A crusade to delusion
To break these chains all over again
Sanctum of the sermon
But the Priest has scarred his eyes
The flock turn to accusers
Then you see they’re really wolves inside
Watch the shadow puppets play
Where the figures never change
And the light remains the same
You watched the shadow puppets play
Though figures never changed
Stoke the fire for the puppets of the cave
Prisoner: Here the fire keeps us warm
Escapee: …The flame has charred your backs
Prisoner: The world exists upon these walls
Escapee: …A chasm filled with cracks
Both: What is true is real to me, and what is real is true
Your vision filled with storms and grey, just waiting to break through
Prisoner: Your eyes are hollowed by the sun
Escapee: …The sun has set me free
Prisoner: Only fools renounce this home
Escapee: …I’ll show you, follow me!
Both: What is pain is love to you, and what is life to me?
But growing shades against the wall, and fading memories?
Let the shadow puppets play
Where the figures never change
And the light remains the same
Let the shadow puppets play
Though figures never change
Stoke the fire for the puppets of the cave
Let the shadow puppets play
Where the figures never change
And the light remains the same
Let the shadow puppets play
Though figures they won’t change
See your world, is just shadows in a cave
