Manipulation Strain

[Pre-Chorus]

Cast into desolation

Uniform destruction of the pure

On wasted soil never to vegetate

This lifeless planet of ash

Manipulation of their world

These helpless victims

[Chorus]

Sirens of war soon fade

Silence of death now heard

By mutant survivors of this holocaust

A strange leprotic race

Dreaming of a different place

Manipulation strain

Manipulation strain!

To build once more from volcanic dust

A populace of deformities

A multitude of horrific defects

Corrupts surviving colonies

Engulfing their lives ever slowly

Manipulation strain!

Manipulation strain!

[Verse 1]

Searching in their eyes

For a gleam of life

Yet the only rays of hope

Are filtered out by the burning sky

And with their fears

Of the poisoned atmosphere

Comes the fuel to cast them onward

To the shores of oblivion!

[Verse 2]

In a forgotten world

Of lives that have no worth

The remaining cries

Fall to waste

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus]

Screaming, they're not dreaming

Fate has caste them down

Into their molten grave, never to be found

These helpless victims

[Chorus]

Sirens of war soon fade

Silence of death now heard

By mutant survivors of this holocaust

Strange leprotic race

Dreaming of a different place

Manipulation strain!

Manipulation strain!
