Cm            Gm    G#           A# 
They rule the land, they're in command 
Cm            Gm         G# A# 
They hold all strings in hand 
 
Cm         Gm 
They are invisible 
            G#       A# 
Out of sight they've designed 
         Cm       Gm         G#    A# 
A secret place to play their games 
 
  Cm            Gm     G#  A# 
A world they're in control 
  Cm   Gm     G#   A# 
Divine law, divine law 
 
    Cm          A#        G# 
And beware, now mind your steps 
       A#        Cm 
We are uninvited guests 
         Gm                G#        A# 
They may find and catch us, don't forget

Do what I say and now connect 
           G#                  Cm 
Don't even ask until we're out of it 
Eb      A#                 G# 
   Everything's at highest stake 
 
Cm           Eb          A# 
Come, take a look we are in 
       G#                  Cm 
Take a breath but don't forget 
      Eb          A# 
Isn't real, isn't true? 
    G#      Gm      G#   Fm 
An illusion nothing more

We get closer, there's no better way

Lullaby lane our fate is on its way 
Cm        Gm              G#        F 
The inner district is the place you need to know

It's overwhelming so let's rest here for a while

Watch me when I fall down

       Eb         A# 
We are wandering around

Things shall vanish, they won't last 
 
    Eb     A#       G# 
Now I know you understand 
                 Cm 
This world's not true

Nothing is real, nothing at all

It's bits and pieces we walk through

I fear we're walking aimlessly
