On Puppet Strings by Magpie

Here I stand in an empty room

In an empty apartment, with an empty soul

I will eventually recover and glance at my doom

But for now I will remain empty and be dwarfed by their goal

I am waiting and waiting and-- there it is

I get to leave now and I'd rather be dead

Sealed my fate with a death kiss

I am only weak now, don't let it go to your head

The children are acting on puppet stages

Their minds are programmed to be the same

But I have lived through many more ages

Compared to me, the lion is tame

I have been called to the ring

Of murder and glory and gore

Through my opponent's screams, I sing

Wearing the color I adore

Now I am back in my room and terrified 

Of everything that their hiding inside

Though the enemies all have died

I am more scared of being alone
