I'm a marionette, watch my silhouette Such a pretty doll, yet so hollow I'm a puppet, cursed I'm a marionette, watch my murder Come see my dance of death
Marked by the sorcerer's sigil The wretched mark it burns forever Yet this is how the dance begins Broken by the curse -ATRLU KM-
I was stolen from my family When the ebon mages put their curse on me Trapped inside the cage I could not move, I could not speak They waved their devilish hands about Filling my mind with their feeble clout Yet all became so vivid, so alive
My purpose then became known to me To assassinate the holy monarchy A butterfly marks my possession -DNIM HCRANOM-
My ears burn with blood and slaughter My nostrils fill with the subtle scent of death I'm just a puppet for the new oligarchy On moonless night, I crept into the tower Where a patriarch would slumber no more The mark of the butterfly Saw the blade driven through his eye The queen beheaded by her own disbelief
I'm a marionette, watch my silhouette Such a pretty doll, yet so hollow I'm a puppet, cursed I'm a marionette, watch my murder Come see my dance of death
As I returned to the lair Sure that demise would await me there My savior's control deprived me of my soul A wooden shell fell to the ground The husk was burned and nothing found
