I LOVED YOU!

Verse 1

I built a kingdom on the marrow of my broken bones

You sat beside me on a throne of jagged silver stones

Liar

You sold my soul for a coin and a crown

Watched while the guards came to drag me down

Deep

The water is cold where the light cannot reach

I practiced the silence you tried to teach

Every promise you made was a blade in my side

Nowhere to run and nowhere to hide

From the ghost of the man that you used to know

I reap the seeds that you started to sow

Blood on the contract

Ice in your veins

I’m rotting away while the Emperor reigns

He smiles at the way that you bent your knee

He laughs at the cage that you built for me

Left for dead

Forgotten name

Playing your sick little power game

Chorus

I loved you

I loved you

I loved you

But you threw me to the wolves for a seat at the feast

Now I’m coming back as a godless beast

I loved you

I loved you

I loved you

Burn it all down till the sky turns red

I’m bringing the vengeance of the living dead

Drop

Red vengeance

Red vengeance

Verse 2

Stifling

The pressure is crushing the air from my chest

I was the storm but you put me to rest

Traitor

The Emperor paid for the secrets you kept

While I was bleeding you quietly slept

Under the sheets we once used to share

Now there is nothing but salt in the air

I hope that the gold feels heavy as lead

I hope that you see me whenever you head

To the balcony

To the garden

To the grave

There isn't a god who has power to save

A woman who trades in the lives of the loyal

Your heart is a ruin and the soil is spoiled

Parasite

Feeding on the trust that I gave like a fool

Now I’m the monster you use as a tool

To justify terror

To justify hate

But I’m breaking the hinges off of the gate

Chorus

I loved you

I loved you

I loved you

But you threw me to the wolves for a seat at the feast

Now I’m coming back as a godless beast

I loved you

I loved you

I loved you

Burn it all down till the sky turns red

I’m bringing the vengeance of the living dead

Bridge

Cut the throat of the memory

Kill the ghost of the empathy

Rip the heart from the history

I see you

I see you

I see you through the dark

I see the mark on your palm

The brand of the man who owns you now

Was it worth it

Was it worth it

Was it worth the fucking price of my life

Guitar Solo

Chorus

I loved you

I loved you

I loved you

But you threw me to the wolves for a seat at the feast

Now I’m coming back as a godless beast

I loved you

I loved you

I loved you

Burn it all down till the sky turns red

I’m bringing the vengeance of the living dead

Outro

The depths are empty now

Because I’m standing at your door

I loved you

I loved you

Never again

Never again

Never again
