The Judas Mirror

Nelson


You led me on and took me in 
Behind the veil but never again 
Will I ever betray myself surrender to a savior's hell 

For seven years I'd trust in you 
My innocence I gave to you 
You'd turn upon this gentle soul 
Destroy naivete and hope 

The day I found the Judas Mirror 
Shades of gray turned crystal clear and 
I could see for miles and miles 
Your betrayals and my denials 

I swore allegiance to the flag 
Then bore your judgements on my back 
As sign 'em up and rob 'em blind 
Became modus operandi 

Battered, bleeding, bruised of heart 
My self-esteem you tore apart 
Then spoke to me with forked tongue 
My game you threw and swore I'd won 

Reflections in the Judas Mirror 
Everything revealed so clearly 
Steal a look at times gone by 
And spitting out my last good-bye 

Well I won't live in apathy, embittered by the memories 
You haven't seen the last of me 
Never, I'll never - pass your way again 

I'm stunned you sleep with you each night 
An incubating parasite 
When daylight shines through your disguise 
The truth will lead to your demise
