Words –
Sweet as the poison in your cup
Gentle as the blade in your back
Soothing as the warmth of your blood
Dripping stark red in the black
Words –
Living only to hear them
Doomed the moment you do
Chains of comfort cherished in blindness
Precious bonds seem they to you
Words –
Serpent's tongue flowing with honey
Soft phrases of praise you adore
Unseen, the shackles of falsehood
Enslaving your will at its core
Words –
Such is the truth of this favor,
This approval you crave and desire
So cursed is the child, the woman, the man
Who pays heed the words of a liar
