About

“They called me the loyal one once“

Lyrics

Intro

Blood on the money

Mm

Blood on the money

Verse 1

Stone cold look in the mirror at dawn

Watched them hand me the key to the crown

Said goodbye to the ones that I loved

Traded family for the velvet-gold gown

They read out the will and I smiled

Played the sweet girl in their grief

Took the mansion and the acres of land

Left a hollow where the love used to stand

Pre-Chorus

And I told myself it was survival

But the truth stains darker than the wine

Chorus

I betrayed my own blood for the throne

Let the crows pick the bones that I own

Every dollar is a stone on their grave

And I'm dancing on the fortune I made

Post-Chorus

Oh

Oh-oh

Fortune I made

Fortune I made

Verse 2

The portrait of my brother still watches

From the wall where the candlelight floats

I carved my name in the ledger of traitors

And it echoes in my winter coat

They called me the loyal one once

Now the servants all whisper below

But I clasp the cold ring on my finger

And I let the poison garden grow

Pre-Chorus

And I swore that it was justice

But the truth still stains darker than the wine

Chorus

I betrayed my own blood for the throne

Let the crows pick the bones that I own

Every dollar is a stone on their grave

And I'm dancing on the fortune I made

Post-Chorus

Oh

Oh-oh

Fortune I made

Fortune I made

Bridge

Maybe heaven won't hold me

Maybe nobody knows

What I gave up for the kingdom

What I traded for the gold

Chorus

I betrayed my own blood for the throne

Let the crows pick the bones that I own

Every dollar is a stone on their grave

And I'm dancing on the fortune I made
