Lyrics
Verse 1
A kiss of betrayal, the weight in my chest,
Like Judas at midnight, I'm failing the test.
Each thought is a dagger, each word is a curse,
I'm bound by the silver, but it only gets worse.
I walk with my guilt, like Peter in shame,
Denying myself, while calling my name.
In the garden, I tremble, my will disappears,
Facing my demons through a veil of tears.
Pre-Chorus
I'm chasing redemption, but it slips from my hands,
Like sand through the fingers of a broken man.
No grace to absolve me, no light to reclaim,
In this spiral of silence, I carry the blame.
Chorus
I fall like the rest, condemned by my flaws,
Bound by the weight of unwritten laws.
For all have sinned, and I bear the shame,
Of a soul in the dark, with no one to blame.
Verse 2
Like Peter, I falter when the night closes in,
Denying my peace, though i swear I won't sin.
Three times I've turned from the truth in my heart,
And each time I break, I tear it apart.
I've wandered the desert, in search of a sign,
But the silence I find is the same as mine.
No pillar of fire, no voice from above,
Just an empty horizon, absent of love.
Pre-Chorus
I carry the weight of the sins I've denied,
A soul caught in limbo, with no place to hide.
I've torn down the temples, left with despair,
In the ruins of faith, I'm left standing bare.
Chorus
I fall like the rest, condemned by my flaws,
Bound by the weight of unwritten laws.
For all have sinned, and I bear the shame,
Of a soul in the dark, with no one to blame.
Bridge
I'm weighed down by judgment, no mercy in sight,
Each breath is a struggle, a test of my might.
Caught in this purgatory, between sin and release,
With no absolution, I'll find no peace.
Breakdown
Like Judas, I carry the weight of my deed,
A soul left to suffer, no savior to plead.
Like Peter, I deny the truth I once knew,
Turning my back as the guilt bleeds through.
Final Chorus
I fall like the rest, condemned by my flaws,
Bound by the weight of unwritten laws.
For all have sinned, and I bear the shame,
Of a soul in the dark, with no one to blame.
But the heavens stay silent, the echoes grow cold,
In the grip of despair, there's nothing to hold.
I cry out for mercy, but no one replies,
Lost in this chasm, where hope slowly dies.
End
