With open arms, take me in
Grip like iron, keep me close
You were my puppeteer
By your hands I could dance
Through your mouth I could sing
Without word you cut the strings
All at once ushered in
A change of guard
And you said once and for all
Hoisted up like a prize
Looking like a murder trial
Begging for a second chance
Mark this spot with a cross
Digging for cover with monster like claws
And with open arms, take me in
With open arms pass me by
With guilty eyes
With guilty eyes
With guilty eye
Grip like iron, keep me close
You were my puppeteer
By your hands I could dance
Through your mouth I could sing
Without word you cut the strings
All at once ushered in
A change of guard
And you said once and for all
Hoisted up like a prize
Looking like a murder trial
Begging for a second chance
Mark this spot with a cross
Digging for cover with monster like claws
And with open arms, take me in
With open arms pass me by
With guilty eyes
With guilty eyes
With guilty eye
