lyrics

Just as we rid ourselves of a tyrant
We kneel as slaves to a new god
You and I bear the mark of our master
His signature is etched like a nameplate for the soul
Before his influence had ended in disaster
We thought he'd never let us go
We were always kept safe with no need to feel
When you never get burned there's nothing to heal
We didn't know we'd been captured
Until the restraints had come off
Just as we rid ourselves of a tyrant
We knelt as slaves to a new god
You and I were finally left unto ourselves
Without a safety net to catch us when we crash
We thought our independence required no other help
So many years had gone by in a flash
We no longer felt safe, we stood naked and humbled
Every flicker of every nerve caused conditions to crumble
The bitter sting of regret could be my imagination
Hesitation for the way things went or if we've made a big mistake
This is our curse
To serve a lord while on this earth
We're only pawns trying to prove we still belong
We don't have long
Here one minute then the next we're gone
Just beware, before the choice is made when you aren't there
We only got to meet our masters
When we reached out and pulled their masks off
Just as we rid ourselves of a tyrant
We knelt as slaves to a new god
