Let the show begin!Let the show begin!Gather round the show is back in townIt's the time we all saw the samuraiWelcome to the place with no taboosNo one's ready to see what the show will doSign up on the dotted line for meIt's a perfect illusion that will set you freeThe shadow puppets open gatesThey pull the strings beneath my skinRip your mask and watch out yourselfThere's no need to sell it to someone elseYou think you're running the show?You better think againCause you'll be nothing but puppets for goodness' sakeSo take a bow just before the curtains fallIt's the silent illusion that kills us allThe shadow puppets open gatesThey pull the strings beneath my skinThey hunt me in the name of breadThe shadow puppets burn withinGrowing inside meShadow puppetsThe shadow puppets open gatesThey pull the strings beneath my skinThey hunt me in the name of breadThe shadow puppets burn withinGrowing inside meShadow puppetsShadow puppets
