Marionette of Shadows Lyrics

She speaks the Word with silver tongue,

A righteous hymn from lips unsung.

Her voice, a choir, her smile, a spark,

But her deeds take root in the shadow's dark.

She quotes the truth, her hands weave lies,

A hidden fire burns behind lyin' eyes.

Every step, a string-controlled dance,

A puppet bound in a demon's trance.

Marionette of shadows, a wolf in sheep's disguise,

Whispering the scriptures while feasting on her lies.

Dancing in the darkness, where the faithful fear to tread,

A hollow heart enslaved, by the serpent in her bed.

She wears the cross, a sacred guise,

Her prayers a veil for the devil's ties.

She turns the light to blind the weak,

A twisted truth is all she speaks.

Her hands, they hold the holy book,

Her mind pain free from the innocence she took.

Tugged by strings, she twists and bends,

A hollow play that never ends.

Marionette of shadows, a wolf in sheep's disguise,

Whispering the scriptures while feasting on her lies.

Dancing in the darkness, where the faithful fear to tread,

A hollow heart enslaved, by the serpent she is led.

Oh, can you hear the Master's call?

The One who breaks the chains of all.

But she bows her head, won't cut the strings,

Her freedom lost to shadowed things.

She builds her throne on broken faith,

Casting stones while cloaked in grace.

A smile so sweet, a dagger hides,

Cutting deep where truth resides.

Her whispers tempt the weary soul,

Pulling hearts into her control.

She knows the way but won't relent,

A life of pretense, wickedly spent.

Marionette of shadows, a wolf in sheep's disguise,

Whispering the scriptures while feeding on her lies.

Dancing in the darkness, where the faithful fear to tread,

A hollow heart enslaved, by the serpent she is led.

Marionette of shadows, a wolf in sheep's disguise,

Whispering the scriptures while feeding on her lies.

Dancing in the darkness, where the faithful fear to tread,

A hollow heart enslaved, by the serpent she is led.

The strings will snap, the curtain will fall,

When the Judge of light reveals it all.

Her fleeting dance will meet its end,

For no shadowed soul can ever ascend.

Marionette of shadows, a dance she'll dance no more,

When the Lamb returns to settle the score.

Marionette of shadows, a dance she'll dance no more,

When the Lamb returns to settle the score.

For no shadowed soul can ever ascend.

Marionette of shadows, a dance she'll dance no more,

When the Lamb returns to settle the score.
