"Portrait Of A Headless Man" lyrics - SEPTICFLESH

[Intro: Sotiris Vayenas & Spiros Antoniou]
In a world controlled by fire
In a world controlled by fire
Psychotic preachers thrive

[Verse 1: Spiros Antoniou]
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

[Chorus: Spiros Antoniou]
"Cry!" I'm crying
In the portrait of a headless man
"Laugh!" I'm laughing
In the portrait of a headless man

[Bridge: Spiros Antoniou]
I am a man
With strong regrets
I followed great deceivers
Believed in headless leaders
They played their game
True sons of Cain
But I was a hopeless dreamer
With my head deep in the clouds

[Verse 2: Spiros Antoniou]
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

[Chorus: Spiros Antoniou]
"Cry!" I'm crying
In the portrait of a headless man
"Laugh!" I'm laughing
In the portrait of a headless man
