"Racing Shadows" lyrics

"Racing Shadows"

There's nowhere left to hide
From the fatman and his lies
A TV puppet-politician
He thinks his words so fine
Great, important, and divine
A 20th century magician

In reality he's nothing but a shark
He appears to be a shadow in the dark

He's making rules and laws
To satisfy his greedy paws
He's got this art down to perfection
Ideals improvised
What's good for him is legalised
For he's the leader of the nation

But a dog that bites
Will seldom ever bark
All his slogans fade to nothingness
For he is but a shadow in the dark

Every step they take
Every move they make
Everything is fake
Just an illusion

Madmen rise and fall
Many heads may roll
But they don't care at all
And sow confusion

Their perverted schemes are reaching their peak
Insanity reigns
Simple parasites they feed off the weak
Possessing their brains

Undercover of the titles they hold
That makes them so bold

Another blindman trips and falls
And deaf men cannot hear at all
They smile towards their self destruction
Yes-men nod and bow their heads
Could own their own minds but instead
They're just like puppets of corruption

And they play their game while corpses pave their way
And they'll force a smile until the day
The racing shadows finally fade away

Every step they take
Every move they make
Everything is fake
Just an illusion

Madmen rise and fall
Many heads may roll
But they don't care at all
And sow confusion

Their perverted schemes are reaching their peak
Insanity reigns
Simple parasites they feed off the weak
Possessing their brains

Undercover of the titles they hold
That makes them so bold

There's a fire burning in our hearts
It throws a light upon their dubious talk
Let the fire burn to disclose all their lies

Let them play their games but be true to yourself
And the flames will rage until the day
The racing shadows finally fade away

Every step they take
Every move they make
Everything is fake
Just an illusion

Madmen rise and fall
Many heads may roll
But they don't care at all
And sow confusion

Their perverted schemes are reaching their peak
Insanity reigns
Simple parasites they feed off the weak
Possessing their brains
