Always playing the martyr
Devoid of power on a solitary throne
Commanding unheard orders
Defiant and alone
Impressive no longer
Enlightened allies have left you in the cold
Abandoned and delusional
It's just you against the world
Welcome to your nightmare
Now exposed and waging war
Welcome to your nightmare
You're no messiah in a crown of thorns
Lost in denial
Pitiful and entangled in distress
Trapped in the 11th hour
Much too late to confess
Potential paths to freedom
Sturdy bridges now charred black and collapsed
Each one a sentence
Set ablaze by your own hands
Welcome to your nightmare
Now exposed and waging war
Welcome to your nightmare
You're no messiah in a crown of thorns
Deceptive and charming
A well-played disguise
The spider is dying
Caught up in it's own web of lies
Plays the martyr
Now exposed
Waging war
A crown of thorns
Plays the martyr (always playing the martyr)
Now exposed
Waging war
A crown of thorns
Plays the martyr (always playing the martyr)
Now exposed
Waging war
A crown of thorns
Plays the martyr (always playing the martyr)
Now exposed
Waging war
A crown of thorns
