Lyrics:
The weapon of man
Another ransom gets thrown upon you
They call it obsolete
A disbelief to disown you
To keep an attack and a tag
On anything sensual
Occupation backlash
Please take a seat in the back
And play blissful

The years of fears and the tangles that they tie you up to
The sleight of hand, obey a command respectful
The aim of the myth, they people it attaches itself to
The years of fears and the tangles that they tie you up to

That contains the names of the wise men
He persists in the night with his guilty mind and innuendo
As he sharpens his blade he dreams of love outside the window
Paying his toll he wants to know is if he's on the menu

The years of fears and the tangles that they tie you up to
The sleight of hand, obey a command respectful
The aim of the myth, they people it attaches itself to
The years of fears and the tangles that they tie you up to
