The Endless Enigma [part 1 & 2] lyrics

[Part 1:]

Why do you stare

Do you think that I care?

You've been mislead

By the thoughts in your head

Your words waste and decay

Nothing you say

Reaches my ears anyway

You never spoke a word of truth

Why do you think

I believe what you said

Few of your words

Ever enter my head

I'm tired of hypocrite freaks

With tongues in their cheeks

Turning their eyes as they speak

They make me sick and tired

Are you confused

To the point in your mind

Though you're blind

Can't you see you're wrong

Won't you refuse

To be used

Even though you may know

I can see you're wrong

Please, please, please open their eyes

Please, please, please don't give me lies

I rule all of the earth

Witness my birth

Cried at the sight of a man

And still I don't know who I am

Are you confused

To the point in your mind

Though you're blind

Can't you see you're wrong

Won't you refuse

To be used

Even though you may know

I can see you're wrong

Please, please, please open their eyes

Please, please, please don't give me lies

I've seen paupers as kings

Puppets on strings

Dance for the children who stare

You must have seen them everywhere

[Part 2:]

Each part was played

Though the play was not shown

Everyone came

But they all sat alone

The dawn opened the play

Waking the day

Causing a silent hooray

The dawn will break another day

Now that it's done

Are we going to see the reason why i'm here
