No Wishbones

Be aware, circles of despair

Quickly, quickly try to run

Corner kings, the corner kings, they come

The hordes of fear, their eyes are near

Weeping wounds, weeping wounds, wounds

You gotta try and run, get out now

Corner kings, the corner kings, they come

The hordes of fear, their eyes are near

No questions asked

All alone, open palms

They tell you, it's got to be this way, this way

Dusty paths by a canvas roof

Waiting for rain

The Devil in him, the peril in you

Waiting for rainfall

Interlinked, silver palmed and armed

Aloof, aloof alliances

No wishbones, no wishbones, no home

This darkness in which some evil seeds are sown

Come in, come, show them who's in charge

Secret servants of the golden palm

Corner kings, the corner kings, they come

The hordes of fear, their eyes are near

Looking through tinted glass

All alone, open palms

They tell you, it's got to be this way, this way

All alone, open palms

They tell you, it's always been this way, this way

Dusty paths by a canvas roof

Waiting for rain

The Devil in him, the peril in you

Waiting for rainfall

When you look into their eyes

Waiting for rain

Too empty to even cry

The rain never fell

Looking through tinted glass

Those broken-eyed vessels

Lost in repetition

From the day they saw dawn

No questions asked

They just carry on

(Fear) Can turn those tears into gold

The puppeteers

Art of manipulation

Pockets full of gold

Art of manipulation

Is what they sold

Lies, darkness, pure evil, vile

Yeah, they're drinking cholera in their water

While they try to stay alive

'Cause there ain't enough water in the well

See my reflection, but who am I to say?

A spectator just like you

A commentator just like you

Why?

Why? Why?
