Wrath of Heaven - Betrayed by Blood Lyrics

Through the ages, across the land,
Warriors stood with sword in hand.
With hearts of steel and eyes of fire,
They fought for honor, for their empire.
But in the shadows, close behind,
The ones they loved had turned unkind.
The trusted few, with poisoned lies,
Brought down the mighty from the skies.

Betrayed by blood, betrayed by kin,
No armor strong enough within.

Warriors fall, not by the sword,
But by the ones they called their lord.
A dagger's kiss, a whispered vow,
The strongest heroes crumble now.
Through every time, through every reign,
The tale of treason stays the same.
Betrayed by those they held so near,
Their power lost to shame and fear.

They wore the crown, they led the fight,
But never saw the creeping night.
For those who stood behind the throne,
Plotted in silence, hearts of stone.
The fiercest battle was never fought,
On the field, but in the thought.
The blade that cuts, it came from trust,
Turning pride and strength to dust.

Betrayed by blood, betrayed by kin,
No shield can block the wounds within.
Betrayed by blood, betrayed by kin,
No shield can block the wounds within

Warriors fall, not by the sword,
But by the ones they called their lord.
A dagger's kiss, a whispered vow,
The strongest heroes crumble now.
Through every time, through every reign,
The tale of treason stays the same.
Betrayed by those they held so near,
Their power lost to shame and fear.

They fought with valor, hearts so pure,
But betrayal's sting, no man endures.
The closest friend becomes the foe,
And all their might is brought down low.
A crown of thorns, a broken trust,
Their kingdoms crumble into dust.

Warriors fall, not by the sword,
But by the ones they called their lord.
A dagger's kiss, a whispered vow,
The strongest heroes crumble now.
Through every time, through every reign,
The tale of treason stays the same.
Betrayed by those they held so near,
Their power lost to shame and fear.

Through the ages, the story's told,
Of warriors brave, and hearts grown cold.
Betrayed by blood, they fell from grace,
A hero's end, in the darkest place.

Warriors fall, not by the sword,
But by the ones they called their lord.
A dagger's kiss, a whispered vow,
The strongest heroes crumble now.
Through every time, through every reign,
The tale of treason stays the same.
Betrayed by those they held so near,
Their power lost to shame and fear.

Through the ages, the story's told,
Of warriors brave, and hearts grown cold.
Betrayed by blood, they fell from grace,
A hero's end, in the darkest place.
