Oh, tonight the marionette dances for the last time
Tonight he will taste freedom so pure and sublime
When the curtains descend the show truly begins
In the gloom, as the lights start to fade
Steal a final glance at what was the prettiest face of them all
Oh, how lovely it feels to cut through perfect skin
To feel the blood flowing faster and faster within
Eviscerate to liberate
Slit the throat and gouge the eyes
And then stab a knife into the prettiest face of them all
A puppet, a servant I am
At the edge of the night
Where the darkness was deepest
I bound myself to her strings
Mutilate to recreate
A life in mimesis of mine
When the ropes come loose
I'll tie her a noose
And thus the mistress shall dance for her slave
Oh, how sinfully pleasant it feels to hold a frigid heart
Before you sink your fingers in and rip it apart
Separate the head and limbs
Intestines as puppet strings
Such a marvelous doll she'll make
With sweet vengeance I carve her flesh
For she was the one to cut me deeper than knives can reach
A puppet, a servant no more
At the edge of the night
Where the darkness is deepest
I freed myself from her strings
Mutilate to recreate
A life in mimesis of mine
When the ropes come loose
I'll tie her a noose
And thus the mistress shall dance for her slave
