Kamelot - Citizen Zero lyrics

I wait to surface
Above these bellowed growls
To sweep the shallows of utopia
I am the anchor
And the rope around your feet
In a river deep, I hold you down

I’ve come to stage your abdication
I’m the creation of your sins embrace me

When the hounds are out feeding me a lie
When the hounds are out
My sickness is released
When the cards are down
For all the world to see
When the cards are down
And the strings are cut
These mannequins will sleep

In the center of your greed infected wounds
I am a thorn of endless sorrow
Just one of thousands
In your self-selected crown
A king to wallow in the mire
And roll in defeat

I will protect the incubation
I am your bottomless decease embrace me

Paternoster invidia
Ira gula superbia acedia
Luxuria avaritia
Pater parce meis peccatis

All I see is mine to take
To have and to hold to suffocate
All I want is mine to keep
And I want it all so Father forgive me
