JUDAS GOAT

walk with me in this hell
that i’ve made for us


I know you’re suffering
But you’ve never been more beautiful
Without your halo of pain
Forged in this darkest crucible

Becoming your Judas Goat
Leading you down paths barren
Of any salvation
You hate me now like a baron

It’s in my nature to push away
Everyone who’s ever loved me
I’ve walked this path for so long
The demons are like family
Your cries are empty to my ears
As I drive yet another nail
In the coffin I’ve laid for you
How can you love me for this Hell?
 
I’ve never hated myself
I’ve never hated myself
I’ve never hated myself
For being your Judas
I’m the Judas Goat

A mirage of roses
Shimmers beyond this landscape of death
Swear I never meant to betray
You to your very own last breath

The serpent tempts the shepherd
With the sight of winter snow
And bitter damnation
Save me from the hands below

It’s in my nature to push away
Everyone who’s ever loved me
I’ve walked this path for so long
The demons are like family
Your cries are empty to my ears
As I drive yet another nail
In the coffin I’ve laid for you
How can you love me for this Hell?
 
I’ve never hated myself
I’ve never hated myself
I’ve never hated myself
For being your Judas
I’m the Judas Goat

I have searched far and wide
For the last piece of my soul
Only to sell you out
And leave you in the cold

Walk with me in this Hell that I have made
For everyone who has loved me
Could never see the punishment
For the promise of eternity
I have never felt guilt like this
As I drive yet another nail
In the coffin I’ve laid for you
How can you love me for this Hell?
 
I’ve never hated myself
I’ve never hated myself
I’ve never hated myself
For being your Judas
I’m the Judas Goat

It’s in my nature to push away
Everyone who’s ever loved me
I’ve walked this path for so long
The demons are like family
Your cries are empty to my ears
As I drive yet another nail
In the coffin I’ve laid for you
How can you love me for this Hell?
 
I’ve never hated myself
I’ve never hated myself
I’ve never hated myself
For being your Judas
I’m the Judas Goat
