The haunted mind, In control of the move The mask fronted thought And diluted truth Evil embrace, A tear in my eye Obey not the hate, Love me to die Love me to die Vacant repeal, Locked away in your safe Shadow the night, Sealing their fate Indulging wrath, Self-inflicted plague A methodic structure, Pinned on your gauge Will this obsession, Fill you with rage? Entitle your ego and dance In your cage A forgone delusion That tore you apart A spawned conclusion, Bleeds out the heart Mother of sin Stand up to oppression The repression begins Stand up to the lie Mother of sin Suffering the pain Feeding from within Time to die Mother of sin Lying in the wake Praying evil wins Innocent Frame of mind Contradicted thought Double-thinking Confutation Regret what you thought C'mon Mrs. Wonderful You're tearing them apart I've given all that I could give I'm bleeding Through the heart Suffocation Breath for life Is all we ever need Transformation Cuts like a knife The open wounds still bleed, bleed, bleed Mother of sin Stand up to oppression The repression begins Stand up to the lie Mother of sin Suffering the pain Feeding from within Time to die Mother of sin Lying in the wake Praying evil wins The aftermath Is reigning down The soaked Consumed by hate A mind filled With sadistic thoughts The clock strikes All too late Lie is thick Fined in time Beauty is sick Fueled by crime God among us Is there hope? Find my reverie Hang by my rope Hang by my rope [Solo: Alex Skolnick] Hang by my rope Hang by my rope Hang by my rope Hang by my... Angel's smile, False look and glare Turning one over Set on dark stares [Solos: Andreas Kisser] Cynical thoughts, Acting out pain Suppressing demands Scripted in vain Payment come due, Laugh in fear The truth Become the law Every lie told, Noose right here Absent, the final straw Mother of sin Mother of sin Mother of sin Stand up to oppression The repression begins Stand up to the lie Mother of sin Suffering the pain Feeding from within Time to die Mother of sin Lying in the wake Praying evil wins Soulless Mother Of Sin

All your time consumed by lies Telling yourself day by day Smile as they stare at your clothing and hair Complete adoration you crave A schmoozer, a user, a constant abuser Broken hearts lie in your wake A schemer, deceiver, an overachiever Nothing's real and you're a fake You're an image in a mirror Just a reflection on a screen You're just a stiff, no love to give You make me wanna scream Loving yourself, surrounded by wealth A bottomless pit of conceit Life on the surface - no depth - no purpose Your whole world is merely skin deep A teaser, a cheater - slick bottom feeder Ice water flows in your veins No shame, no honor, a stone prima donna No, I won't be one of your games You're an image in a mirror Just a reflection on a screen You're just a stiff with no love to give You're a terminal illusion A black shadow on a dream You're just a stiff with no love to give You make me wanna scream Self-loving Self-absorbed Arrogance over your world Self-obsessed Self-centered Terror filling your void Antisocial Narcissistic Your life's a bullshit parade Detesting Everyone Threats of deception and slander It's all a charade [Solos: Alex Skolnick] You're an image in a mirror Just a reflection on a screen You're just a stiff with no love to give You're a terminal illusion A black shadow on a dream You're just a stiff, no love to give You make me wanna scream
