Smoke and Mirrors
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
And a liar
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
And a liar
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
And a liar
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
And a liar
