Puppet

You give a kid some candyDale dulces a un niño

He will always ask for moreSiempre pedirá más

You give a man some powerDale poder a un hombre

And off he goes to warY se va a la guerra

So many strings tightly attachedTantas cuerdas atadas fuertemente

He seems like he is lostParece que está perdido

He makes a fine new decisionToma una nueva decisión fina

Whatever be the costSin importar el costo

I see images that cullVeo imágenes que despiertan

Up on our deepest fearsNuestros miedos más profundos

Just when all seems wellJusto cuando todo parece estar bien

The puppet appearsAparece la marioneta

Take me to silenceLlévame al silencio

I don't want to hearNo quiero escuchar

Bring me to blindnessLlévame a la ceguera

I don't need to seeNo necesito ver

He'll pay no heed to his neighbourNo prestará atención a su prójimo

He'll pay the price to rulePagará el precio por gobernar

Only greed will bring him pleasureSolo la codicia le dará placer

And make him king of foolsY lo convertirá en rey de los tontos
