The Great Manipulator

from Apostatize! by Brooks Strause

/

lyrics

Here he comes: The great manipulator. Here he comes: The beggar who deals. He'll set you on his knee and then he'll set you free and then he'll make you feel how he feels. The prince of the letters down, the captain of the messers around, under the weight of his crown was pulled to the bottom and drowned. And here he comes: The great manipulator. Here he comes: The beggar who deals. He'll set you on his knee and then he'll set you free and then he'll make you feel how he feels. The head of the hangers out, the chief of the thinkers aloud, out of bullshit to complain about, is staring blankly at the crowd. Here he comes: The great appreciator. Here he comes: The insect with bones. He'll show you the way then forget what to say and he'll give you everything he owns. Here he comes: The great exaggerator. Here he comes: The finder of brains. He picks you apart and then he breaks your heart and the creature consumes your remains. Here he comes: The great manipulator. Here he comes: The beggar who deals. He'll set you on his knee and then he'll set you free and then he'll make you feel how he feels.
