The Only One

The ink was dry before the world began A map of blood held in a hidden hand They sit above the clouds, above the law Buying the future with a silent flaw They own the bank that lives inside your chest Feeding the hunger, killing all the rest A thousand years of names you’ll never know Directing every shadow on the show. They sell the poison then they sell the cure Keeping the water and the spirit pure The ladder’s fixed, the ceiling’s made of gold Everything you love has already been sold. Oh, they’re writing the script, they’re pulling the wire Dancing around the global fire! (Oh-oh-oh!) You’re just a number in the master frame Playing a part in a rigged-up game! They own the seed, the news, and the light Turning the day into a permanent night Yeah, the chain is old and the link is tight Welcome to the end of the human right! The screen is talking, telling you the truth While they’re harvesting the spirit of the youth The salt is heavy and the bread is strange Keeping you quiet, keeping out the change You think you’re choosing but the choice is gone A ghost in the machine from the dusk till dawn They mold the mind and they freeze the soul Absolute power, absolute control. They sell the poison then they sell the cure Keeping the water and the spirit pure The ladder’s fixed, the ceiling’s made of gold Everything you love has already been sold. Oh, they’re writing the script, they’re pulling the wire Dancing around the global fire! (Oh-oh-oh!) You’re just a number in the master frame Playing a part in a rigged-up game! They own the seed, the news, and the light Turning the day into a permanent night Yeah, the chain is old and the link is tight Welcome to the end of the human right! The world is a room... And they hold the key... You’re not a man... You’re just a part of the chemistry... (Vocal build-up) Part of the plan! PART OF THE PLAN! Oh, they’re writing the script, they’re pulling the wire Dancing around the global fire! (Oh-oh-oh!) You’re just a number in the master frame Playing a part in a rigged-up game! They own the seed, the news, and the light Turning the day into a permanent night Yeah, the chain is old and the link is tight Welcome to the end of the human right! They think they own the stars... They think they own the sun... But they’ve forgotten there is only One... Higher than the throne, beyond the sun... There is only One... And He is coming... To judge them all.
