Citizen Zero

I wait to surface above these bellowed growls

To sweep the shallows of utopia

I am the anchor and the rope around your feet

In a river deep I hold you down

I've come to stage your abdication

I'm the creation of your sins (embrace me)

When the hounds are out feeding me a lie

When the hounds are out

My sickness is released

When the cards are down for all the world to see

When the cards are down

And the strings are cut these mannequins will sleep

In the center of your greed infected wounds

I am a thorn of endless sorrow

Just one of thousands in your self-selected crown

A king to wallow in the mire

And roll in defeat

I will protect the incubation

I am your bottomless decease (embrace me)

When the hounds are out feeding me a lie

When the hounds are out

My sickness is released

When the cards are down for all the world to see

When the cards are down

And the strings are cut these mannequins will sleep

Pater noster

Invidia

Ira gula

Superbia acedia

Pater noster

Luxuria

Avaritia

Pater parce meis peccatis

All I see is mine to take

To have and to hold, to suffocate

And all I want is mine to keep

I want it all

So, father, forgive me

When the hounds are out feeding me a lie

When the hounds are out

My sickness is released

When the cards are down for all the world to see

When the cards are down

And the strings are cut these mannequins will sleep

(When the hounds are out feeding me a lie)

When the hounds are out

My sickness is released

When the cards are down for all the world to see

When the cards are down

And the strings are cut these mannequins will sleep
