Isolation Nobody left Communication but nothing said The black sheep of the herd never gets to say a word Just sits back and lets the castle burn There's no hope for them to understand your pain They wouldn't help you anyway Run for your life There's nothing left to gain No will to fight Take everything away One step off the ledge and it's a long way down A long way down Mass confusion Nothing clear In conclusion We're all so insincere Actors under stage lights waiting for the closing line Some stars just never get to shine There's no hope for us been led too far astray Time only measures our decay Run for your life There's nothing left to gain No will to fight Take everything away One step off the ledge and it's a long way down A long way down

Places places everyone the show is about to start The crowd is eagerly awaiting this work of art Remember your lines and maintain your disguise Let yourself become the mask you hide behind This is a masterpiece A comic tragedy A romance horror mystery and everything in between Don't make them ever want to look away Dance puppet dance let your strings do the talking Dance puppet dance now cause everyone's watching The life of a marionette is exhausting So dance puppet dance now cause crying ain't solving a thing The curtain closes for the intermission It's gone well so far the audience is having a ball Take a moment to admire the applause that you're given Don't break your concentration now Remember the show goes on You are the star of the evening shining bright No second chances now all eyes are on you tonight This is the moment you've been waiting for all your life Dance puppet dance let your strings do the talking Dance puppet dance now cause everyone's watching The life of a marionette is exhausting So dance puppet dance now cause crying ain't solving a thing The show is over there's a standing ovation The curtain closes and your heart is racing This is the night that they'll be talking about For the rest of their lives For the rest of their lives Dance puppet dance now you've managed to please them Without any rhyme or with out any reason The life of a marionette's incomplete And it's lost without guidance from writers and blind puppeteers

It's been a long time coming up from under the surface Chosen my direction gonna make it worth the wait Acceleration elevating every step I take Taunted by the ground below Ascendancy I claim I will not be afraid A shallow grave I will not dig myself today The sky above awaits I'll heed the call No slave to gravity I'll gain control Don't catch me if I fall I'll do this on my own I'm gone I'm going home Holding ties are severed now Oceans unexplored The path I walk enlightened by the bridges that I burn Stripped of all dependency The tables have been turned Lived and I have learned I'll heed the call No slave to gravity I'll gain control Don't catch me if I fall I'll do this on my own I'm gone I'm going home A shallow grave I will not dig myself today The sky above awaits

A rope in my hand and the wind on my back The ocean the only home that I'll ever have I sail through infinity possessing no fear of what lies underneath Or what I'll never see This vessel grows colder with each passing night Relying on the rum just to keep me alive This life isn't easy I know it's the only thing left for me It's all that I need The land I once loved has no love left for me So I've made my home on the infinite sea Don't dare try to find me I'm far beyond your reach It's the pirates life for me The country is crawling with murderous thieves They'll cut off your head if you fail to believe That the have all the answers to questions that you'll never ask yourself Or anyone else The sea's unforgiving but it remains fair The weak torn apart but I will not be scared I'll face all the demons If it kills me at least I can say that I'm free I'll perish in peace The land I once loved has no love left for me So I've made my home on the infinite sea Don't dare try to find me I'm far beyond your reach It's the pirate's life for me The land I once loved has no love left for me So I've made my home on the infinite sea Don't dare try to find me I'm far beyond your reach If this kills me at least I can say that I'm free From the shackles of life Cause I'd rather be dead than afraid to survive No one deserves to be terrified to open their eyes So this is my goodbye

I close my eyes and say my prayers on the darkest of all nights But I get the funny feeling now that something isn't right I'm looking out the window and I can't believe my eyes Risen corpses roam the streets the dead return to feast upon life Lock your doors and bar your windows This is a war we'll never win Though we can't be sure when it may end We will see it through until our final breath Blood will soak the streets tonight Relinquish hope the dead are rising All alone but I'm surviving amidst all this confusion Splitting heads they're multiplying Seeing red continue fighting Mothers screaming children crying Final resolution This is the end this is the end of everything we know We can't pretend we can't pretend we'll live to see tomorrow So raise your weapons hold them high There's no way we'll make it out of this alive They won't take us down without a fight Monsters lurk at every corner Armageddon stands before us If I live I can't be sure what future this could bring Gun in one hand knife in the other Hopes and dreams are torn asunder Punishment we all must suffer for what we have become This is our final stand and we don't have a chance So hold your loved ones close and say your final prayers This is the end this is the end of everything we know We can't pretend we can't pretend we'll live to see tomorrow So raise your weapons hold them high There's no way we'll make it out of this alive They won't take us down without a fight The human race brought to it's knees At the mercy of the murderous deceased How could we think that we'd survive A civilization built on lies We don't deserve to be alive My final breath escapes my lungs And I can't help but laugh at what we have become I know that we deserve this though we never understood it Underneath the surface we were zombies from the start This is the end this is the end of everything we know We can't pretend we can't pretend we'll live to see tomorrow So raise your weapons hold them high There's no way we'll make it out of this alive They won't take us down without a fight

We fear those who protect us Revere those who neglect us We are not alone The hour of redemption upon us now We'll spend it taking back the throne The last man standing was always meant to stay alive It's time for them to learn what happens when you play with fire Smile as we let them burn They've come to strip us of our power Relieve us of our pride Among the wreckage we'll survive Hold on to what they cannot take away It's been so long since we have seen the light of day Conforming to their will while they find pleasure in our pain Constant contradictions let them feed off our submission Now their ignition will become the light that guides our way They've come to strip us of our power Relieve us of our pride Among the wreckage we'll survive Hold on to what they cannot take away And when the ground beneath them fails to hold the weight of all their ignorance They will know that we were right Don't wound what you can never hope to kill Don't wound what you can never hope to kill The fear in your eyes is as clear as the sky As your souls ascend to the sun So how does it feel to know nothing is real When all that you've worked for is gone Silence falls as heroes rise Hand in hand we've taken back our lives Fear not their power Heed not their pride The last man left standing was meant to claim victory Broken and bruised but you're still standing here with me Nowhere to go now And no one to lead But we'll find our way Find our way
