"The Dragon Must Die" lyrics - MARCO HIETALA

There's a creature of cunning, of knowledge and age
And you've known it all of your life
It tries on many faces and personalities
Until it finds out what you love

[Pre-Chorus:]
Born into the harness
Prison of the screen
Consuming lives
Drunk on gasoline

[Chorus:]
You will be changed when you find out your life was a lie
La-la-lie-la-la-lie-lie
Come out of the glamour and know the same thing as I
The dragon must die

Here it comes for your children and you let it in
Like some did to you, you'll recall
A slit tongue in every faceless head, a machine, a spider web
Spitting lies to feed off us all

[Pre-Chorus:]
Share the denial that corporate religion has grown
On commercial breaks mass distraction is shown

[Chorus:]
You will be changed when you find out your life was a lie
La-la-lie-la-la-lie-lie
Come out of the glamour and know the same thing as I
The dragon must die

[Instrumental break]

As the pressure of hunger drives species extinct
We gorge on the leftovers still
Clever madmen preach from their mountains of gold
May god justify what you kill

[Chorus:]
You will be changed when you find out your life was a lie
La-la-lie-la-la-lie-lie
Come out of the glamour and know the same thing as I
Predators of mind skinned you, decorating temples sky high
You will be changed when you find out your life was a lie
Come out of the glamour and know the same thing as I
The dragon must die

[Post-Chorus:]
The dragon must die
The dragon must die
The dragon must die
