Quantum Beat - Puppet Master Lyrics

Behind the scenes I pull every thread
Setting the stage every word they've said
I play the part smiling sweet and kind
But it's all for me I control their minds
No price too high no cost too steep
I'll use them all my secrets I'll keep
I twist their thoughts I bend their will
They're pawns in my game a thrill to fulfill
People start to notice they're seeing through
Realizing my power what I try to do
They pull away slipping out of my grasp
Starting to escape from my cold tight clasp
They say I should change find a new way
But empathy's weak-it just leads you astray
I'm the puppet master pulling the strings
They dance to my tune the power it brings
Ruthless and cunning no one's safe
I'll take it all they'll wonder why
Isolation grows as they drift away
But I've come too far to change my way
New faces will fall new puppets to find
I'll hone my craft leave the weak behind
Their pity means nothing their words don't sting
I'll rise again stronger with no strings
It's not personal just part of my game
Focused on victory craving the fame
They think they're free think they're wise
But I'll rise again fueled by their cries
I'm the puppet master pulling the strings
They dance to my tune the power it brings
Ruthless and cunning no one's safe
I'll take it all they'll wonder why
Empathy's chains they won't hold me down
I'll build my empire I'll wear the crown
In my world the ruthless hold sway
The strong survive the weak decay
I'm the puppet master pulling the strings
They dance to my tune the power it brings
Ruthless and cunning no one's safe
I'll take it all they'll wonder why
