So many years ago,

Many more than I intended to bear in my mind

From the darkest of the places I found you



All the little scene, there my place is

And a heart made of real gold,

Sell me your little doll, oh sir, I ask you kind.



Every night I return to watch them

The master and the puppet in the show

He said "Oh no I cannot sell him,

Priceless he is, masterpiece of mine"



Please sell me your puppet sir,

Name your price, oh please,

whatever you may ask

can form the price I'll pay

"Did i not make it clear? This debate is over,

I will never part from this puppet my son"



With hungry eyes, I follow them all night

The blind master and the puppet he had made

"No sir, to sell is not my will

The doll is mine even if I have to kill"



So it shall be if this is what it takes

Greed is truly blinder than me

Heart of gold is what you wish for

So this little boy wants to be a puppet, for real



So I have a broken heart

Now only needing the voice of the master

Never feel hunger, never grow older

My dream was to be a star in a real puppet show (show)



It's so hard to remember my life

The times before the show

Can I ever cut off the strings?

"Take a bow, now dance and sing, sing!"

Would you turn me into a child again?

"No never, I am your guide"

You can see a small grin on the face

Of the master with the puppet

"Sing and dance!"



Be carful of what you wish for

Wish is my kind of lie

The prides are fooling me every day and night

The show, the theater and all the fame

I'd give it away for a life

Some things can end with a word, they're saying

This only ends with a sharp knife, knife!
