[Verse 1]
Weaving a thread round your heart and your soul
Deceiving your eyes and delaying your goal
Ships in the night when they pass out of sight
Deliver their cargo of earthly delights

[Verse 2]
To the women and children, the souls of the dead
I've opened their book, and no mercy is shed
You want forgiveness, and you want it cheap
I don't give redemption rewards for the meek

[Pre-Chorus]
Suffering evil when you pay the price of fame
There isn't a god to save you
If you don't save yourself
You can't blame a madman for this if you go insane
Give me the strength so I carry on

[Chorus 1]
Trapped in a web, but I cut the threads
Show you the gates of tomorrow
Trapped in a web, no mercy is shed
Show you the gates of tomorrow
Trapped in a web, slaves to the dead
Show you the gates of tomorrow
Trapped in a web, but I cut the threads
Show you the gates of tomorrow
[Instrumental Break: 2:57-3:56]

[Pre-Chorus]
Suffering evil when you pay the price of fame
There isn't a god to save you
If you don't save yourself
You can't blame a madman for this if you go insane
Give me the strength so I carry on

[Chorus 2]
Trapped in a web, but I cut the threads
Show you the gates of tomorrow
Trapped in a web, slaves to the dead
Show you the gates of tomorrow
Trapped in a web, no mercy is shed
Show you the gates of tomorrow
Trapped in a web, but I cut the threads
Show you the gates of tomorrow
