Echoes and Shadows

Conspiracies twine, around minds like a knot Whispers in the dark, the world's run by a plot Hidden hands guide, the strings they've bought Every move watched, in this treacherous lot Behind the screen, power's shadow play ticks In every corner, the dangerous matrix You may not, you see, hear them speak, but know they plot That is they scheme in silent nods Let me draw you in, 'cause they want to Control minds Fantasy's truth, and what's the plot we really fought The Mad Deadly game that’s forever sought Through the eavesdrop, the lenses, ear to the ground Every secret spilled, every plot they've found The satellite's gaze, a silent hound Tracking your trace, silence the sound Underneath the surface, paranoia's seed Tales of control, a sinister creed They weave the tale, of a force unseen In the backroom deals, where the ends justify the means Puppets and pawns, in a chessboard fight Every move surveilled, in the dead of night Trust is a gamble, a coin on the toss Secret cabals, win at any cost Eyes in the walls (in the walls) Echoing halls, whispering names Truth is a ghost, reality's game Every shadow's alive, with a secret to claim They tap the lines (tap the lines) Decode the signs, the grand charade
