The Judas Mirror

(album: Imaginator - 1996)

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
