Lyrics Nail-Biter - Tanuki

Nail-Biter

We were the crown!
The ones who we trusted to talk to us
Could not foresee the way
You selfishly pretended our hand in this
Did not amount to anything
We were larger than life
But only when we stood as one
Were it not for this
You never would have turned so traitorous
I never thought that you would sink so low!
(Sink so low!)
You turned your back on us
The moment you sold your soul
(You sold your soul!)
Time has only left you ravenous
You’re not the one I remember
You lost yourself in decadence
It’s just a shame you surrendered us
Just sink your teeth into the salt
Have you tasted the finer things in life at all?
Was it worth your spine?
Your dignity?
I assure you it isn’t
The call wasn’t yours to make
The legacy wasn’t yours to take
The prince of thieves, the bandit king
You showed us your hand
You reached for the ring
If they only knew
What kind of monster they’ve made of you
A sacred oath you shamelessly abused
Go, take what you want
The damage is already done
I don’t have the energy to fight this war
I never thought that you would sink so low!
(Sink so low!)
You turned your back on us
The moment you sold your soul
(You sold your soul!)
I can’t believe that you would fall so far
(Fall so far!)
The man I knew wouldn’t bear such a hollow heart
(Such a hollow heart!)
Time has only left you ravenous
You’re not the one I remember
You lost yourself in decadence
It’s just a shame you surrendered us
