The Mark of the Judas

That's all right because you wish you were dead You live life with a hex over your head A savior's mouth with a serpent's tongue But don't forget you're like this with the chosen one And I forget about my losing streak But you never slip at a chance to remind It sounds like you should save a prayer for me But I'll take my chances with the unworthy And you know the quick path The righteous, the way back I'll end up the only one I'll end up the lost son And you know the way back The righteous, the way back I'll end up the only one I'll end up the forgotten And you know the quick path The righteous, the way back I'll end up the only one Swallow it all and wash it all down It must be the weight of that crown And all the lies seem to become me Because it's easier than the truth Failure; the only thing that seems to matter It's not the fact that you're the walking dead So save a prayer for me Don't waste a prayer on me

A blessing in tragedy Burning what's left in effigy Wreckage, when there's nothing left Wreckage, the birthright of regret A place where truth can hide A place where fallen egos can survive A place where fear rusts through pride A place where heroes go to die Self delusion, self destruction Falling so short of faith An empty shell A carcass left of greed An empty shell In the shade grows another weed And you wear the scars well Merciless liar How many times till your shadow haunts you too?

A legacy that rots with time Cold before it hits the ground I've heard the screams from the inside I know never look back When memories fade to flashes The trust was just a trap Look for my picture in the ashes Deceit riding under a white flag A casualty of sincerity Dust on the gallows And not a tear in sight Just like the old days Perfection rotting from the inside out A place face that cracks with age A blank stare screaming with rage Sunken cheeks a lonely heart Sadistic seduction you know the part

This track is instrumental.

Is this song not instrumental?

Mass ceremonial suicide A nation of millions caught in the jaws of a lie Uniform stagnant filth Sub culture with no remorse or guilt Feeding the frenzy of fears It feeds on it's young for years A new chain for the same set of slaves A new shovel for the same set of graves I can't pretend I care anymore None of this is worth anything anymore An angel with the eyes of a whore This facade has been bleeding from the core A new home not far from the past A new home from the same suffocating past

You want to own this You want to control this Well I chose an eternity of this And laugh at the fire Take all you want and all you need You never cared what you left of me Never give what you can't take back The true mark of the Judas Never forget The true mark of the Judas All my words blinded by piety And I won't lose myself like you did Fears you want to talk of fears Well I'm the one who's been hiding All these years Too many secrets Too many lies I will never be clean again Too many secrets Too many lies

This time the circle closes This time there's nothing left for you, for me This time the circle closes This time we lay this to rest Others just like the others Loneliness, hopelessness Others just like the others Hopelessness, hollowness Others just like the others Hollowness, heartlessness Tonight, I'll kiss your poison lips This time your past surrounds you This time the circle closes in This time salvation binds you This time the hate will break you again Fears you said face your fears But the tears make it all so clear to me now Tonight, I'll kiss your poison lips

I saw the world die a little today Just to feel the wealth of the decay Just so you can know what it feels like What tears taste like We owe it all to the sickness inside We owe it all to the fears we've learned to hide We belong where traitors can touch the divine Where the unforgiven can send us a sign Was it the symptom? Or was it the sickness Or was one last try Our only weakness Falling face first Tears stinging down your cheek Drowning face first A haven for the wretched, the cursed Only the lonely We belong where fires can seer this from our eyes

Paranoia and you can still pretend How this cross will always mend Paranoid and the pestilence sets in What failure looks like when you begin 'Cause you've heard this one before And it won't stop you from walking out that door Wasted on nothing but borrowed time Wasted on the guilt that's all mine This is how the beautiful decay And the pain washes the color away How the wicked find their separate ways How you'll look on that day I promise no surprises Last time I lost myself I promise no surprises
