Amenophis

The Puppet Master 8:04

Music & lyrics written by Michael Roessmann, 2013
Arranged & recorded by AMENOPHIS in 2013

This inner voice has all the words
knows all tricks of being heard
And when the truth dreadfully hurts
we listen in silence

You, you are the one
You pull me up
When I have fallen
Why, why should I question your way
when you never let me down

Puppet master's show
The house is full and all the tickets are sold
The audience claps and sings
On each hand a silky string

Why, tell my why
Appears your world in black & white
A dreary place where oil and blood looks the same
Sweet lies behind your smile

Perfect shadow play
At the wardrobe we all gave our free will away
The smiling master shuns the light
behind the curtain - out of sight

Where, where are all gone
The mirror says: "Love is overrated"
I can still feel your breath on my neck
on the hunt for more and more

See the Puppet master's show
The house is full and all the tickets are sold
The audience claps and sings
on each hand a silky string

Could that voice be pushed aside
Could the puppet cut off all of the lines
It would be crawling off the stage
on my way, my own way
