who failed the most

Sonata Arctica

A man of his word, corrosive, like the promise, despicable
We are his pawns to lies about the gates of paradise
Closing on the new, irreplaceable
Behold, he s stacking his brick like it s a wall
And now the world s on fire
And now the pyre draws those clouds on the sky
Staining a page of history
Walking the walk to kill the lights
The dawn of demise

You decide who is the lord of the rings
The master of puppets, burning the strings
Ask yourself now at the end of the day
Who failed the most?

Draw a thin line to cross while making unnerving promises
Leaving a state of dystopia behind

You decide who is the lord of the rings
The master of puppets, burning the strings
Ask yourself now at the end of the day
Who failed the most?
You decide who is the lord of the rings
The master of puppets
Ask yourself now at the end of the day
Who failed the most?

Yesterday, tomorrow seemed more like yesterday
Now we long for those bygone days
The known unknown is now far away
Yesterday, how brief the moment, we once believed
The guiding hands of the ones who lead
Are big enough like they were before
Are now so small

Building a maze of Penrose steps within your head
And lead by example from the ivory tower and golden bed
The long shadow of the money man
Tantrum fits the plan, the new law of the land

You decide who is the lord of the rings
The master of puppets, burning the strings
Ask yourself now at the end of the day
Who failed the most?
You decide who is the lord of the rings
The monster-like master, burning the strings
Ask yourself when everything falls apart
Who failed the most?

Who failed the most?
Who failed the most?
Who failed the most?
Who failed the most?
Who failed the most?
Who failed the most?
Who failed the most?
Who failed the most?
Who failed me the most?
Who failed me the most?
Who failed me the most?
Who failed me the most?
You failed me
