The Reaper Never Forgets (BETRAYAL)

Verse 1

Beneath the charred arches of our ancestral temple where we pledged our lives I saw your dagger turn

Against the marrow of our mutual promise while the sky grew sick and black like a bruised lung

You traded my devotion for a seat in a ruinous court and watched the hounds of treason rip at my throat

I lay dying in the muck of the trenches hearing your laughter rise like a fever through the sulfur fumes

But my lungs refused to stop pulling in the stench of the dead because the heat of hatred became my only god

Pre-Chorus

The pact is null

The kingdom burned

The lessons learned

Chorus

Now I am the widow of the war you started for a handful of gold

I am the hunger that finds you when your palace gets old

Eat your lies until you choke on the truth

I am the blade and the reaper and the tooth

I am the reaper and the tooth

Verse 2

Now I stand amidst the calcified remains of the fallen with my eyes locked onto your coward balcony

Where once I brought you crowns of glory I now bring the harvest of a thousand screaming spirits

Your face is a mask of terror peeling away to reveal the worm that burrowed through your shallow conscience

I have waded through rivers of bile and clambered over mountains of bone just to smell your panic

You think walls can save you but I have dismantled the concept of safety with my bare bloodied palms

Pre-Chorus

The crown is dirt

The peace is gone

The knife stays drawn

Chorus

Now I am the widow of the war you started for a handful of gold

I am the hunger that finds you when your palace gets old

Eat your lies until you choke on the truth

I am the blade and the reaper and the tooth

I am the reaper and the tooth

Bridge

Look at me

Look at what you made

Look at the cost you paid

I survived the ditch you dug for my pride

I crawled back while the holy angels cried

Fuck your mercy and fuck your weak regrets

The reaper never forgets

The reaper never forgets

Chorus

Now I am the widow of the war you started for a handful of gold

I am the hunger that finds you when your palace gets old

Eat your lies until you choke on the truth

I am the blade and the reaper and the tooth

I am the reaper and the tooth

Hook

The reaper never forgets

The reaper never forgets

Die like a rat

Die like a rat
