Silent Muse – Villains lyrics

Villains

You were battered
Torn apart
Little remained of your heart
Then came a savior
From a past forgotten
Together you seemed so pure
Who saved who?
I wasn't sure
Now what is left
Of what you had begotten?

Given body
Given soul
Offered up completely whole
Sacrificed for splendor
Your knight was so sincere
But despite all the pain
Your tormentor wins again
Back towards his arms
With no trace of fear

It's amazing to me
In this masquerade world
How quickly villains turn to saints
How swiftly scars are covered up
By brushing lips for flashy paints

Isn't it nice to be seduced
And to hand out some abuse
Then say you were victimized
When even we know that you're lying?
Fill our souls with sour regret
Then maybe you will forget
That not long ago you were
The one who was crying

Promises gone
Return to crime
You swore me the only time
Now the blood of two men stains your beak
Forgiveness
For breaking rules
Seemed, to you, folly of fools
The strong must always suffer for
Mistakes of the weak

It's amazing to me
In this masquerade world
How quickly heroes turn to sinners
Running roughshod over trust
To any path that makes them winners

Isn't it nice to be seduced
And to hand out some abuse
Then say you were victimized
When even you know that you're lying?
Fill our souls with sour regret
And maybe you'll then forget
That not long ago you were
The one who was crying

It must be hard
To be one of the few
For whom fidelity is easy
Simpler to give in
Than to resist

Eloah rancly Warakts raikl
Abr abrolkran bearoace
Ylaor amackae urap
Cyolaur Amicnadra?
