The Benevolent Pawn Songtext
von Vulture Industries

I urged to do good, but somehow
Motives, action and its consequence
Can form absurd chains
Can form absurd chains

I never fully understood, but somehow
Somehow these grew taint
Obscured my inner eye
Spawned interior lies

The lies turned to truth in my eyes
Called upon me to commit these deeds
I consider vile
As if these hands weren′t mine


I paused and beheld dead eyes
And momentarily I glimpsed
My distorted I
But this clearness

Could I confine my mind
To justify my crime?
Every trivial move could bind
This twisted fate of mine

I tried to do good, but these malevolent fingers
These malicious fingers were plotting my doom
I turned the deaf ear, but the voices still lingered
And thus my new image continued to bloom
This devilish contraption's controlling my fingers
Towards times of chaos and gloom

I urged to do good, but somehow
Motives, action and its consequence
Can form absurd chains
Can form absurd chains
