Cut out your tongue and hold it up
For everyone to see
No more a marionette
And never a trophy
Hypocrites one and all
Bound to a vision
It was everything, but
Not yours
Oh! how those ropes burned
As they lashed you to a post
Flames biting your namesake
Traitors kissed you on the cheek
And hissed in your ear
A graceful stab is all it takes
To cut away the years
Can you hear me?
Traitors kissed you on the cheek
And hissed in your ear
A graceful stab is all it takes
To cut away the years
Blind the eyes (my eyes) that gazed
In wonder and simple love
They'll never (I'll never) see you again
