Silver Tongue

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Sitting in my ivory tower

Invincible to fall

Some would say my final hour

As you scale the wall

Step inside

I dare you all

And breath the lies

And heed the call

When this all is said and done

I will have my way

And you will take the blame

You're over the line, under the gun

I am the reason for what you've done

Tooth of a crime, you can't outrun

Under the spell of my silver tongue, yeah

I swear to God, I'll find a way

To prove I still belong

I'd rather watch it burn away

Than say that I was wrong

So step inside

I dare you all

And brеathe my fire

And heed my call

You're ovеr the line, under the gun

I am the reason for what you've done

Tooth of a crime, you can't outrun

Under the spell of my silver tongue

You're over the line, under the gun

I'll keep on scheming for what's to come

Tooth of a crime, you can't outrun

Under the spell of my silver tongue

This alliance built on fear and rage

Ends in violence if I have my way

Fear, spite, lie to divide us

Hate, strife, bring decay

You're over the line, under the gun

I am the reason for what you've done

Tooth of a crime, you will not outrun

Now you're under the spell of my tongue

You're over the line, under the gun

I am the reason for what you've done

Tooth of a crime, you can't outrun

Under the spell of my silver tongue
