Between the truth and what we know
A force is trying to make us blind, yeah
Dreaming 'bout power and control
Manipulating all mankind

Behind the curtains stand the kings
Cursed by the oath they swore

Alterior motive
The words we never speak
The names of traitors
Carved into our spines

Alterior motive
Eternally, we seek
For answers
From the same corrupted minds

Children brought into this world
Are guided by the books of light, yeah
A future mapped out in advance
Using freedom as disguise

Behind the curtains stand the gods
Prepare for the final call

Alterior motive
The words we never speak
The names of traitors
Carved into our spines

Alterior motive
Eternally, we seek
For answers
From the same corrupted minds

Corrupted minds, yeah

Alterior! Motive!
Alterior! Motive!
Alterior! Motive!
Alterior! Motive!

Alterior motive
The words we never speak
The names of traitors
Carved into our spines

Alterior motive
Eternally, we seek
For answers
From the same corrupted minds

Alterior motive
The words we never speak
The names of traitors
Carved into our spines

Alterior motive
Eternally, we seek
For answers
From the same corrupted minds

Corrupted minds!
