Can you hear the bells toll?

It's Christmas sale at the mall

Can you see the horizon burn?

Glowing neon of grocery store

So you believed they cut off your wings

These marks on your back are whip scars

What you thought was a morning star

Was just a cigarette lit in the dark

You dream of wielding a sword

True hero that saves the world

But you will die in bed, alone

Scared, obese, most likely overdose

So you believed they cut off your wings

These marks on your back are whip scars

What you thought was a morning star

Was just a cigarettе lit in the dark

You already know

That you are not in control

You'rе being controlled

You already know

That you are not choosing

You're being sold

You already know

That you are not buying

You've been bought

Gift-wrapped and delivered

So you believed they cut off your wings

These marks on your back are whip scars

What you thought was a morning star

Was just a cigarette lit in the dark

Doors open when you knock

Answers come when you ask

So give up, bend over and pray

I mean pay, it's time to pay
