Look across the room, walls of melting steel
Watch the candle flicker as walls of steel gleam
Watching, waiting, staring, representing life,

Cardboard replica of man, framed in wood and steel

Home of dust and dirt, reflection of my life

Corner web of glow, ideas of tomorrow,
Thinking, making sense, surrounding circumstance,
Made by man to opter man, but never say a word, ah.


Portrait, picture, sing a song, tell a tale to me,
Sing a fool of all the rules, they break but cannot see

1.46-2.48
Catch a passing thought, now bring it to the light,
Cast a watchful eye, as mother to her son

Watching, waiting, staring, burning of (their thoughts)
Sacrifice it all you got, to redeem what you have not


Portrait, picture, sing a song,
tell a tale to me,
Sing a fool of all the rules,

they break but cannot see.

Give a man the effigy

hang it on a wall
Dress it up in halter
The finest made of steel

make a common copy
send it to the queen


Watching lifeless eyes, look down from a wall,
Survey the scene below and motionless they cry
watching, waiting, staring, giving up the fight

made by man to opter man but never say a word
