They turn to ashes in your mouth
See the wave approaching
Their intentions suck you down
[Pre-Chorus]
In the blink of an eye
We fought for so long
It’s a role reversal
It will bring us down - but not out
[Chorus]
This is the age of betrayal - You want us down on our hands and knees
This is the age of betrayal – a Judas kiss and silver in your fist
This is the age of betrayal - Gleaming in your eyes, the ability to lie
This is the age of betrayal
When the steel turns to rust
When the walls are tumbling down
Like the towers falling
You see them crumble down
Pre-Chorus, Chorus
[Bridge]
Clouds on a pale grey sky
A tapestry woven with compromise
Delusions tied to a scheme
The lies they sell are not the dream
Spoonfed answers, no questions
Choking down that bitter pill
Reaping the winds of destruction
You exercised, exercised your will
[Chorus]
When the dreams turn to dust They turn to ashes in your mouth See the wave approaching Their intentions suck you down [Pre-Chorus] In the blink of an eye We fought for so long It’s a role reversal It will bring us down - but not out [Chorus] This is the age of betrayal - You want us down on our hands and knees This is the age of betrayal – a Judas kiss and silver in your fist This is the age of betrayal - Gleaming in your eyes, the ability to lie This is the age of betrayal When the steel turns to rust When the walls are tumbling down Like the towers falling You see them crumble down Pre-Chorus, Chorus [Bridge] Clouds on a pale grey sky A tapestry woven with compromise Delusions tied to a scheme The lies they sell are not the dream Spoonfed answers, no questions Choking down that bitter pill Reaping the winds of destruction You exercised, exercised your will [Chorus] Explain Request ×
