Lion of Judas

I once felt your embrace shroud me in bright days, I spent in ignorance, bathed in golden sunrays – But with every light comes a dark gloom, and I sensed cold under the silver glow of the moon – There's no second coming – No hope at all – God watches us crawl and will watch humanity fall

There's no greater good or strength to gain from a diabetic son – So why has god given my family more than one?

You wouldn't seek answers from ghosts of sheppards – So why are we speaking to ghosts, speaking to clouds, and burying doubt into the conformity of crowds? – I'd rather be in this cold world, all alone, than to feel the warmth of drones worshipping the throne

So we're singing the songs as loud as the bombs that rain on Babylon – We flooded the streets when we crumbled the gates, and washed away all filth and hate

Stop starting at the sky when you live on earth – The sun will burn your wishful eyes blind – So stop staring at the sky when you live on earth

I felt your hand slip away and betray – And to those who've left me lonesome and dismayed, I've found the strength to walk away

But

Even on the brightest of days the darkest of shadows still follows

In a world of snakes all we have is each other – In a world of rats all we have is love for each other

Even on the brightest of days the darkest of ghosts is hollow

Oh lion of judas, you were once betrayed – Oh lion of judas, still no one is saved

Betrayed – Betrayed us all

Oh lion of judas, oh king who betrays – oh lion of judas, still no one is saved

2000 years later and still no one is saved
