Chicanery Songtext
von Cerebral Cortex

Fragile eyes don′t stare too long
The graves are dug with more to come
Look away before you cease
And the gravity pulls you underneath
This land is not for the living
I'm the only one who shall thrive in these ruins
Turn around do not resist
You′ll be escorted to a new habitation

Winds of war knock down the signs
That give answers to the wandering souls
Ignorance plagues everyone inhabiting the battlefield alone

Dragged away from my home
Forced to oppose my beliefs
Redesigned into a machine that's
Consciously still human
I must discontinue the creation of my kind
I shouldn't be alive and neither should my maker


Winds of war knock down the signs
That give answers to the wandering souls
Ignorance plagues everyone inhabiting the battlefield alone
Your destination was never a chosen path
You were chosen by me to be a tool for my wrath
Cling on to your consciousness
It′s amusing that you manifested any hope at all

Liberate my body from these programs
Slicing these wires to break free

Patterns escaped your thoughts
There′s trails of evidence
Seeing through your chicanery I know what you planted in me
With a witty game of card tricks
You envisioned upper hand
Now that I've escaped your grip you′d better have a plan

You thought you could use me for diabolical ideals
I will turn my wrath on you It's what you created me to do
I sought out all your antics these repercussions reflect back to you
This land is for the souls who′ve been expelled from their homes

Obey the protocols
Redeem, redirect the pawns
War is universal
I've become the king
Flip the fucking chessboard


Patterns escaped your thoughts
There′s trails of evidence
Seeing through your chicanery I know what you planted in me
With a witty game of card tricks
You envisioned upper hand
Now that I've escaped your grip you'd better have a plan
