serpent’s tongue

(Verse 1)
Painted faces, crafted lies,
Whispered truths in blackened skies.
They pull the strings, we dance along,
To a broken tune, a hollow song.
(Chorus)
The puppet’s smile, the serpent’s tongue,
Promises made, all undone.
Beneath the crown, the rot runs deep,
Selling dreams we’ll never keep.
(Verse 2)
Glass towers gleam, they cast their shade,
On borrowed hope, a deal betrayed.
Behind closed doors, they shift the blame,
Smoke and mirrors, the endless game.
(Chorus)
The puppet’s smile, the serpent’s tongue,
Promises made, all undone.
Beneath the crown, the rot runs deep,
Selling dreams we’ll never keep.
(Bridge)
They walk in shadows, weave their schemes,
Turn our blood into their dreams.
A theater of power, scripts of deceit,
We’re just the ground beneath their feet.
(Chorus)
The puppet’s smile, the serpent’s tongue,
Promises made, all undone.
Beneath the crown, the rot runs deep,
Selling dreams we’ll never keep.
(Outro)
The curtain falls, the stage goes black,
But the lies remain, they won’t turn back.
The puppet’s smile, it lingers still,
A hollow face, a darker will.
