who failed the most

a man of his word

corrosive

like the promise

despicable

we are his pawns to lies about the gates of paradise

closing on the new

irreplaceable

behold

he's stacking his brick

like it's a wall

and now the world's on fire

and now the pyre draws those clouds on the sky

staining a page of history

walking the walk

killing the lights

the dawn of demise

you decide

who is the lord of the rings

the master of puppets

burning the strings

ask yourself

now

at the end of the day

who failed the most

draw a thin line to cross while making unnerving promises

leaving a state of dystopia behind

you decide

who is the lord of the rings

the master of puppets

burning the strings

ask yourself

now

at the end of the day

who failed the most

yesterday

tomorrow seemed more like yesterday

now we long for those by gone days

the known unknown is now far away

yesterday

how brief the moment

we once believed

the guiding hands of the ones who lead

are big enough

like they were before

are now so small. building a maze of penrose steps within your head

and lead by example from the ivory tower and golden bed

the long shadow of the money man

tantrum fits the plan - the new law of the land

you decide

who is the lord of the rings

the master of puppets

burning the strings

ask yourself

now

at the end of the day

who failed the most

you decide

who is the lord of the rings

the monster-like master

burning the strings

ask yourself

when everything falls apart: who failed the most

who failed me the most?

who failed me the most?

who failed me the most?

who failed me the most?

you failed me
