Complete Control

No hope nor reason
 Just 13 years against the grain
 Broke, burned and branded
 No greater cause called my name
 Caged like a cipher
 Doomed to dwell a dead-end life
 The way it is, or conspiracy?
 Wherefore and why this world should be?
 Now through wool-encrusted eyes I see
 Their malfeasance and their sophistry
 As the tentacles of lies unfold
 In this complete control
 ♪
 ♪
 Rife with division
 Shreds of truth infect the maze
 Prophets spew derision
 As empires wax and wane
 Who am I in this?
 A hero's song, or Caliban?
 Plant the seed, pull the strings
 My will is all that's left of me
 Now through wool-encrusted eyes I see
 Their malfeasance and their sophistry
 As the tentacles of lies unfold
 In this complete control
 ♪
 Now killers walk among us
 And skeptics blindly stare
 As power grips insidious
 All that's real fades into the air
