Smoke and Mirrors (The Beta Machine Mix)

You confessed one day
To have been a snake and deceiver
But when your moment came to shed that skin
You just slithered away
You just slithered away

Crystal clear to us all
When you say "We all want the same thing"
That you don't, you want the bigger piece and the praise

There are those who have seen
And those soon to beware
What your smoke is concealing
Just a trail of bones, atop a lemming's hill
All fallen prey, all fallen prey
All fallen prey

To the liar, not a saint
Not a martyr, just a snake
To the liar, not a saint
Not a martyr, just a snake

We used to believe, when you'd say "Were all in this together"
No more, we all see
Now the mirror is broken, we all know what your spell was concealing
Just hollow eyes, a stolen crown
But not a king
No, not a king
No, not a king

Just the liar, not a saint
Not a martyr, just a snake

To the liar, not a saint
Not a martyr, just a snake
To the liar, not a saint
Not a martyr, just a snake
And a liar
