Portrait Of A Headless Man Lyrics - Septic Flesh

In a world controlled by fire. 

In a world controlled by fire, 

Psychotic preachers thrive. 

They use the waves to bind us, 

They use the screens to blind us. 

I joined headless forces 

They told us what to do. 

We worked, we fought, we bled. 

A cogwheel in the system, 

A ghost in the machine. 

In my private thoughts, 

Only pain felt real.

Cry! 

I am crying, in the portrait 

Of a headless man. 

Laugh! 

I am laughing, in the portrait 

Of a headless man 

I am a man with strong regrets. 

I followed great deceivers 

Believe in headless leaders. 

They played their game, true sons of Cain 

But I was a hopeless dreamer, 

With my head deep in the clouds. 

More joined the fiery leaders, 

And blood was shed in rivers. 

Those without a mind had to pick our side, 

With the use of fearsome methods. 

One more empty frame ready for display, 

On a gallery of headless portraits.

Cry! 

I am crying, in the portrait 

Of a headless man. 

Laugh! 

I am laughing, in the portrait 

Of a headless man
