Venom on the Blade

Cracked helm

Blood on the crest

Your name

Carved in my chest

You swore

Iron and faith

You lied

I learned too late

Every vow you made

Tasted like steel in my mouth

I held my tongue

While the poison worked its way down

Venom on the blade

You kissed it

Then you gave it to me

Said it was fate

Watched me swing till I fell to my knees

All of your rage

Hidden in the edge that I raised

You made me your plague

You wrote your hate like venom on the blade

Black flag

Torn at the seam

Your face

Haunts every scene

Burned town

Smoke in my lungs

Your word

Rot on my tongue

Every prayer you prayed

Echoes like cracks in the walls

I wore your crest

While you waited for me to fall

Venom on the blade

You kissed it

Then you gave it to me

Said it was fate

Watched me swing till I fell to my knees

All of your rage

Hidden in the edge that I raised

You made me your plague

You wrote your hate like venom on the blade

I clean the steel

But the stain stays red

Can't wash out

What I did

What you said

I turn the point

Till it faces your throat

Whose hand

Will finish this oath? hey!

Venom on the blade

I lift it and it shakes in my hand

End of the game

Cut the chain

I remember who I am

Out of the cage

Turn your little curse on its maker

Watch it invade

Feel your own venom on the blade
