Step by step

Word by word

Setting up the stage

Dividing the herd

Lead them astray

Promote disarray

Righteous men crumble

At the end of the day

Lead them astray

Watch them sway

They pave the way

For my own gain

Unseen by mortal eyes

The scheme, the grand design

Fighting back is most unwise

The snake's upon your spine and

I know what is your darkest desire

Go forth indulge yourselves, relish in ire

Spiraling down into the mire

Lies that I seed, topple empires

Fight through the pain

'til nothing remains

Hollow ideals are

nothing but chains

Virtuous and guiltless

You're all the same

'til the dead are

calling out your name

Lead them astray

Watch them sway

I'll have my way

You will obey!

Unseen by mortal eyes

The scheme, the grand design

Fighting back is most unwise

The snake's upon your spine

I know what is your darkest desire

Go forth indulge yourselves, relish in ire

Spiraling down into the mire

Lies that I seed, topple empires

(solo)

I know what is your darkest desire

Go forth indulge yourselves, relish in ire

Spiraling down into the mire

Lies that I seed, topple empires
