lyrics

Let go 
Dropped from the highest of heights by the ones I trusted the most 
Where do you go when you surrender your soul and it’s torn to pieces? 
So cold 
The hate that you hold, shown through slanderous words 
Always under attack, knife in my back, and you watch as I bleed, fading slowly   

Spin your web of lies, 
Shove your words down my throat until I suffocate 
Can anyone hear me? I’m down below 
Cast into the unknown
I apologize, 
For anything I’ve done, I’m not the only one 
Who holds the blame 
Yet you curse my name

Putrid filth falls from your mouth as others lay in wait, accepting their rations 
The rumors, the hearsay spread like wildfire 
Wormtongue, spare me the kiss of betrayal, do what you came for (Matt. 26:50) 
Hoping one day to see my downfall

I see a wolf dressed up in sheepskin; 
Waiting for the sun to set before it closes in; 
The coward dares to wear a crown; 
Tell me to kneel but I won’t bow down 

Spin your web of lies, 
Shove your words down my throat until I suffocate 
Can anyone hear me? I’m down below 
Cast into the unknown
I apologize, 
For anything I’ve done, I’m not the only one 
Who holds the blame 
Yet you curse my name

Wormtongue
Your kingdom will rot
