Gripping on the black hearts Pulling on the puppet strings of Evil men and women of the world Intelligence denies that Greed is all the finds them Religion and salvation from a store Searching for a bad soul Always finding reasons to cause Devastation in the hearts and minds Feeding on their kindness Leaving thoughts behind them For any guilty conscious to take form I’m the trader of pain In your theater of sorrow I feed on the disdain Feasting on your pain I’m the chains around your neck Trapping you inside I will make you doubt tomorrow know you won’t survive I’m the voice behind your hex Chains that bleed your spirit dry Come with me I will guide you to the fortune I will guide you to your promised land Never mind that little angel on your shoulder She will never even try to understand You there sulking I will cure you of your problems I will show you how to properly depend You don’t have to change at all, no you’re perfect You just need to learn to be a victim of “the man” You won’t remember anything until it’s gone Responsibility you’re freed from it all No longer any need for structure Nothing to remind you No family or a home to Go running back to open up your eyes My guiding words that blinded Your heart is stripped kindness You traded in your good life for a whore Pathetic pleas of mercy Never cease amazing me Corruption is addictive you want more Separate the heart and Obliterate the mind for I leave you in a hollow broken world I’m the trader of pain In your theater of sorrow I feed on the disdain Feasting on your pain I’m the chains around your neck Trapping you inside I will make you doubt tomorrow know you won’t survive I’m the voice behind your hex No one hears your cries I’m the trader of pain I feed on the disdain I’m the chains around your neck Trapping you inside I will make you doubt tomorrow know you won’t survive I’m the voice behind your hex Chains that bleed your spirit dry
