[Verse 1]

Can you hear the bells toll?

It's Christmas sale at the mall

Can you see the horizon burn?

Glowing neon of grocery store

[Chorus]

So you believed they cut off your wings

These marks on your back are whip scars

What you thought was a morning star

Was just a cigarette lit in the dark

[Verse 2]

You dream of wielding a sword

True hero that saves the world

But you will die in bed, alone

Scared, obese, most likely overdose

[Chorus]

So you believed they cut off your wings

These marks on your back are whip scars

What you thought was a morning star

Was just a cigarettе lit in the dark

[Post-Chorus 1]

You already know

That you are not in control

You'rе being controlled

[Post-Chorus 2]

You already know

That you are not choosing

You're being sold

[Bridge]

You already know

That you are not buying

You've been bought

Gift-wrapped and delivered

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

So you believed they cut off your wings

These marks on your back are whip scars

What you thought was a morning star

Was just a cigarette lit in the dark

[Outro]

Doors open when you knock

Answers come when you ask

So give up, bend over and pray

I mean pay

It's time to pay
