a fish is caught
let him live or die
you bought the hook
you can cook up a lie
promulgator of the destiny of mankind

as much as i denied
you had a force upon me
a fish cannot decide
he must hold his breath
when the lout casts out his expensive net
this is where a lion was stoned to death

by sinners and liars deep in hell
this is the spot where a mountain once fell
and was tamed by a hand
and managed by a man
tamed by a man with a fishermans chance

he hides all his shame
spends his life behind a lucky aim
he writes your destiny on that day
but he is as good as a roach
with a castle and a moat

so long as youre lost
they are wrong
they have words for you
and places you belong

ignore them till they win
till they denounce your sins
and they catch you like a fish
on the day when they decide
whether youll finally live or die

and who owns the lake
who owns the ocean
who owns the power and the good devotion
who owns the lake
who owns the ocean
who owns the power and the right devotion

sinners and liars deep in hell
this is the spot where a mountain once fell
and was tamed by a hand
and managed by a man
tamed by a man with a fishermans chance

he hides all his shame
spends his life behind a lucky aim
he writes your destiny on that day
but he is as good as a roach
with a castle and a moat
