Текст песни: Wormtongue + перевод

I watched him drive the knife in

Stick thin lips, his eyes ablaze

Intentions still unclear

He listens from his hiding place

I watched the colour fade

From what once offered warmth and shelter

Gaunt cheeks and itchy feet

Manifesting in the wake of his apathy

And so the years passed by

(You knew our good intentions.)

Infrequency has turned to absence

(And you don’t fucking care.)

You showed us all the grime that hid beneath

(And now I’m here.)

Roll up your dirty sleeves

Does a tongue still hide behind your rotting teeth?

Open up your ears for once

Why can’t you just admit that you were in the fucking wrong?

I’ve never witnessed such arrogance

When did we ever do you harm?

A wise man doesn’t nail himself onto a crucifix in the wake of his hardships

Take a step up off your pedestal

It’s getting pitiful

You just can’t shake the fog

And I’m done trying to guess why

You drained away

Stick thin lips, your eyes ablaze

Intentions still unclear

You cannot bear to show your face

How can he stand with his head held so high?

After a decade spent complaining of a bent and broken back?

Just as I thought, you’ve yet to fix the chip in your shoulder

A wise man doesn’t nail himself onto a crucifix in the wake of his hardships

And I just want you to know, you may have been forgiven if you’d tried

apologising

Yet instead, you lashed out at all of those who offered aid

It’s such a fucking shame

Take a step up off your pedestal

It’s getting pitiful

You just can’t shake the fog

And I’m done trying to guess why
