[Verse]
You wear a mask stitched with law and grace
But your shadow leaves a darker trace
You smile wide as you tighten the chain
The crown's your prize no matter the pain
[Chorus]
Oh puppet strings pull the night so tight
Underneath the stage where you kill the light
Justice whispers but it’s drowned in screams
You twist the law to fit your schemes
[Verse 2]
You make the rules then break them in two
Blindfold the world while they look at you
Your rivals vanish in the dead of night
But your speeches paint you pure and right
[Bridge]
The ink on your papers bleeds with lies
The weight of truth you try to disguise
But power’s grip is a fleeting ghost
One day it’ll slip when you need it most
[Chorus]
Oh puppet strings pull the night so tight
Underneath the stage where you kill the light
Justice whispers but it’s drowned in screams
You twist the law to fit your schemes
[Verse 3]
You hold the hammer but the gavel’s cracked
Your fear’s the fuel that keeps you intact
One day the walls will come crashing in
And the silence you sowed will begin to sing
