[Verse]
A spider spins its tangled web
In shadows deep no light to ebb
The puppet strings they pull so fine
A silent echo falls in line
[Verse 2]
The vulture circles high above
Greedy eyes no room for love
A serpent slithers through the cracks
With every bite trust it lacks
[Chorus]
Broken mirrors shattered glass
Reflections of a dying class
In the fog they hide away
Truth and lies begin to fray
[Verse 3]
The blackened rose it wilts in shame
Petals fall no one to blame
A clock ticks by with hollow chime
Stolen moments lost in time
[Bridge]
A gilded cage for birds of prey
Their songs of freedom led astray
Chains of gold they weigh you down
Silent rulers wear the crown
[Verse 4]
The masquerade of painted masks
Hidden faces secret tasks
A game of chess but kings are fools
Power plays with broken rules
