Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Fables have been set,

Serving up the worst regret.

Waiting for the chance,

Circumstance.

Speaking to the sky,

Slither fake and keep disguised.

Naming your price,

Payment for the sacrifice.

Demon in your ear,

Evil on your breath.

You brought the wolf right here,

You brought the kiss of death.

You just betrayed us.

The moment we've all been waiting.

No one can save us,

You won't believe us, until it's gone.

Go on.

Go on.

You just betrayed us.

Go on.

Go on.

You just betrayed us.

Committed to your task,

Jealousy behind your mask.

Pieces out in place,

Thirsty for your last disgrace.

Holding up your tongue,

Dealings that can't be undone.

Blood on your hands,

Pawns inside the master plan.

Demon in your ear,

Evil on your breath.

You brought the wolf right here,

You brought the kiss of death.

You just betrayed us.

The moment we've all been waiting.

No one can save us,

You won't believe us, until it's gone.

Go on.

Go on.

You just betrayed us.

Go on.

Go on.

You just betrayed us.

What have you gained?

What have you done?

Nothing but shame and there's nowhere to run.

Who takes the blame?

Why have they come?

What can't be undone?

You just betrayed us.

The moment we've all been waiting.

No one can save us,

You won't believe us, until it's gone.

Go on.

Go on.

You just betrayed us.

Go on.

Go on.

You just betrayed us.

You just betrayed.

You just betrayed.

You just betrayed.

You just betrayed.

You just betrayed.
