The Judas Kiss

(Intro)
I SAW THE TRUTH

(Verse 1)
Your words are venom, dripping from a silver tongue
The death of a promise while we were still young
I saw the light on your screen in the dead of the night
The name of a coward, the start of the fight
You’re a parasite feeding on the heart of a saint
While you cover your tracks with a thick coat of paint
But the layers are peeling, the rot is exposed
The door to my mercy is permanently closed!

(Pre-Chorus)
Was his touch worth the weight of the crown?
Was the thrill worth the way that you’re burning this down?

(Chorus)
So here’s the end of the fairytale life!
The sharpest cut from the bluntest knife!
You’re a traitor, a liar, a ghost in the hall
And I’m the one standing while you start to fall!
Yeah, you sold our soul for a moment of bliss
Now you’re left with nothing but a Judas kiss!

(Verse 2)
"He didn’t mean anything," that’s what you claim?
Then why are the sheets still whispering his name?
I gave you my loyalty, I gave you my life
While you were out sharpening the edge of the strife
I’m purging the memories, I’m clearing the air
I’m leaving you here with the ghost of a prayer
Go back to the shadows, go back to the street
I’m done being the one that you think you can beat!

(Chorus)
So here’s the end of the fairytale life!
The sharpest cut from the bluntest knife!
You’re a traitor, a liar, a ghost in the hall
And I’m the one standing while you start to fall!
Yeah, you sold our soul for a moment of bliss
Now you’re left with nothing but a Judas kiss!

(Bridge / Breakdown)
I held the line...
While you crossed it.
YOU CHOSE THE DARKNESS!
YOU. ARE. NOTHING. TO. ME.
NOTHING!

(Final Chorus)
So here’s the end of the fairytale life!
The sharpest cut from the bluntest knife!
You’re a traitor, a liar, a ghost in the hall
And I’m the one standing while you start to fall!
Yeah, you sold our soul for a moment of bliss
Now you’re left with nothing but a Judas kiss!

(Outro)
The kiss of death.
