Pull the strings inside your mind
Whispers crawling through the night
You don't see the chains you wear
But they tighten everywhere
Every step is not your own
Every truth already known
Puppet dancing in the dark
Marked forever with the mark
Run faster deeper in the maze
Every choice already made
Master Master
Pulling every wire
Master Master
Feeding every fire
Bend your will and break your pride
You are nothing but the guide
Master Master
Bow before the throne
Screens are glowing in the night
Selling lies that feel so right
Every thought begins to fade
Every doubt already caged
Voices telling what is real
Twisting everything you feel
Strings are tightening again
Welcome to the puppet game
No escape from what you crave
Digging deeper to your grave
Master Master
Pulling every wire
Master Master
Feeding every fire
Bend your will and break your pride
You are nothing but the guide
Master Master
Bow before the throne
Falling slowly into silence
Broken dreams without defiance
Searching for a way to breathe
But the strings will never leave
Master Master
Hear the crowd obey
Master Master
Nothing left to say
Bend your will and break your soul
Darkness taking full control
Master Master
You were never free
Strings remain
Nothing changed
Puppet lives
Inside the cage

Master of Shadows
nakaken
A dark and powerful metal anthem driven by crushing thrash riffs and dramatic song structure.
With aggressive down-picked guitars, relentless double-bass drumming, and a gritty commanding vocal performance, the song explores the theme of unseen forces controlling the human mind.
From haunting clean guitar passages to explosive guitar solos, the track captures the spirit of classic 80s thrash metal while delivering a modern heavy sound.
Who holds the strings?
Who is the puppet?
Master of Shadows is a heavy, cinematic metal track that confronts the idea of invisible control and the struggle for freedom.
