The Betrayal (Act III)
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.
Table has been set
Serving up the worst regret
Waiting for the chance
Serpents love the circumstance
Speaking to the sky
Sleight of hand and cheap disguise
Naming of your price
Payment for the sacrifice
Demon in your ear
Evil on your breath
You've brought the wolves right here
You've brought the kiss of death
You've just betrayed him (you've just betrayed)
The moment we've all been waiting
No one can save him (no one can save)
You won't believe until he's gone
Go on, go on
Your noose is waiting (no need to wait)
Go on, go on
You've just betrayed him (you've just betrayed)
Committed to your task
Jealousy behind your mask
Pieces are in place
Thirty for your last disgrace
Holding of your tongue
Dealings that can't be undone
Blood on your hands
Pawn inside the master plan
Demon in your ear
Evil on your breath
You've brought the wolves right here
You've brought the kiss of death
You've just betrayed him (you've just betrayed)
The moment we've all been waiting
No one can save him (no one can save)
You won't believe until he's gone
Go on, go on
Your noose is waiting (no need to wait)
Go on, go on
You've just betrayed him (you've just betrayed)
What have you gained? What have you done?
Nothing but shame and there's nowhere to run
Who takes the blame? Why have they come?
What in God's name have you done?
You've just betrayed him (you've just betrayed)
The moment we've all been waiting
No one can save him (no one can save)
You won't believe until he's gone
Go on, go on
Your noose is waiting (no need to wait)
Go on, go on
You've just betrayed him (you've just betrayed)
You've just betrayed
You've just betrayed
You've just betrayed
