The Manipulated Dead

Wake up on the links or mountainside
Sparrows can't make noise all throughout life
Every living thing dies alone
Darkness will not fear or love the lifeline

More pain by dawn
Let's dream it never comes
One life to lead, one to slip away
One time to prove
One to reflect through memories that haunt
When it's all been dead and said and done
The manipulated dead
The manipulated dead
Once upon a time begged forgiveness

Rabbits to follow into night
Cellar doors have nothing to hide
Grandma Death waits for her letter
Cunning children can't lie forever

More pain by dawn
Let's dream it never comes
One life to lead, one to slip away
One time to prove
One to reflect through memories that haunt
When it's all been dead and said and done
The manipulated dead
The manipulated dead
Once upon a time begged forgiveness
The manipulated dead
The manipulated dead
Once upon a time gave advice

Focus on the forgotten subject
No imagination
No safety
No tangent universe
Do you feel what you dream?
In your dreams are you real?
Do the skies open up for the past to fall through?
Do you save the world and laugh it off?
Do you forget yourself?
You're already forgotten

More pain by dawn
Let's dream it never comes
One life to lead, one to slip away
One time to prove
One to reflect through memories that haunt
When it's all been dead and said and done
The manipulated dead
The manipulated dead
Once upon a time begged forgiveness
The manipulated dead
The manipulated dead
Once upon a time gave advice
