The Executioner

Time ticks along
Never give a passing thought, never needed any help
But it hit the fan so I reached out for a helping hand
(am I the sum of the allegations?)
The cost you bare is minute
(living used to feel so spacious)
Now I'm down and endure the wounds

I needed some warmth not your cold disgrace
Not a hint of warmth pictured on your face
I could say a little prayer but no-one's listening up there
So time will tell
I'll watch you fall on your knees
You held my life in your hands - I will be something

The pen seems stronger than the sword
You were my only resort then you bought out the axe
A nod to the queen
The scapegoat is here to fulfil your needs
(your valour is too scarce to mention)
I slipped down the mask
(now I'm at one with all the tension)
Now this limbo will last

I needed some warmth not your cold disgrace
Not a hint of warmth pictured on your face
I could say a little prayer but they aren't listening up there
So time will tell
I'll watch you fall on your knees
You held my life in your hands - I will be something

I needed some warmth not your cold disgrace
Not a hint of warmth pictured on your face
I could say a little prayer but no-one's listening up there
So time will tell
I'll watch you fall on your knees
You held my life in your hands although you can't understand
So time will tell
I know you will fall, still you watch me bleed
You held my life in your hands
Judge and jury with no bounds
So time will tell
Yeah, I can win
I will breathe
