Thirty Silver

Push came to shove
The allegiant trust we built took center stage
Needed a lifeline
But you watched me as my body slipped beneath the waves
There’s a special place in hell for the disloyal
Who cut and run when needed most
So much invested
I thought you had my back as I had yours
Now that it’s tested
Your loyalty is just a bunch of empty words
There’s a special place in hell for the disloyal
Who cut and run when needed most
Stab the flesh, still it will heal
Time repairs even a broken body
Your betrayal cuts much deeper
Cast your silver in the field
And measure out your noose
We lash our craft to those of others
And place our faith in the rising tide
But in the storm you were revealed
Your humanity’s a lie
Less out of malice
And more just a sin of your omission
Your moral cowardice
Exposes you and all your insecurities
There’s a special place in hell for the disloyal
Who cut and run when needed most
Stab the flesh, still it will heal
Time repairs even a broken body
Your betrayal cuts much deeper
Cast your silver in the field
And measure out your noose
Stab the flesh, still it will heal
Time repairs even a broken body
Your betrayal cuts much deeper
Cast your silver in the field
And measure out…
And measure out…
And measure out…
And measure out your noose
