Judas |
Your name is assured in the history books |
The ink it has settled, no fear |
But do not for once grow attached to your throne |
The price of betrayal is dear |
The weight of the power, corruption and lies |
Has broken the strongest of spines |
The crown that you wear, it may seem a good fit |
But thorns, they will spite you with time |
Judas, did you sell your soul |
Judas, were you blinded by the gold |
How do you sleep when the cupboards are bare |
Your pillow is woven with gold |
Tonight, there’s the shimmer of desperate knives |
Tonight, it will silence the old |
Your pawns and your bishops will stand by your side |
And take not a word of the blame |
But as they are wiping your kiss from their lips |
They’re secretly cursing your name |
Judas, did you sell your soul |
Judas, were you blinded by the gold |
Your name is assured in the history books |
The ink it has settled, no fear |
But do not for once grow attached to your throne |
The price of betrayal is dear |
The weight of the power, corruption and lies |
Has broken the strongest of spines |
The crown that you wear, it may seem a good fit |
But thorns, they will spite you with time |
How do you sleep when the cupboards are bare |
Your pillow is woven with gold |
Tonight, there’s the shimmer of desperate knives |
Tonight, it will silence the old |
Your pawns and your bishops will stand by your side |
And take not a word of the blame |
But as they are wiping your kiss from their lips |
They’re secretly cursing your name |
They’re secretly cursing your name |
They’re secretly cursing your name |
