Deceit

(album: Måsstaden - 2011)

Can you feel the heat that leaks underneath
From this resistance that you have created?
I defy the curse and then define a new set of rules
This time and your demise can no longer be separated
My veins are expanding and contracting, pulsating in a rapid pace
I can feel this body tremble, acting brave

I hold my breath and just as I leave my hand, I'm stuck by reflections struck from the blade
Cutting through the darkened cloud, a piercing light arrives
But I remain in the shadow

When this moment opens up and truth unfolds, they will see that you were wrong
You never showed us your face, a bringer of falseness and decay
You always seemed to have excuses to justify your means

To take you out became my aim, but this is so much worse
Your name will be disgraced in shame, as time flows in reverse

Dawn breaks and dissolves your words to dust and haze
It burns your eyes
It kills my need
Bring this dagger when you leave

You must answer for your deceit as the curtain falls
And if you have the courage to watch behind my back
Perhaps you will see the assassin lie dead before your feet
It will drag you down to the bottom and then down into the abyss
