An empire in ashes

Desireless and empty

The desert puts his head in the sand as soon as I'm seen

If the devil ever placed bets

(If he placed his bets)

On weakness and failed dreams

Then the medals on his neck

Have been won all thanks to me

What I was or have been

(Have been)

Was proven as unworthy

As angels in the wrong hands

(Wrong hands)

Or feathers robbed of their wings

The lamb in the lion's skin

The truth has surfaced again

I don't know how we got here

(How did we get here?)

And maybe I didn't care as much as I should have

(Wicked)

Until we fucking got there

But wicked knows where wicked has been

The lamb in the lion's skin

The truth has surfaced again

I'm falling short on making amends

A martyr 'til the miserable end

The lamb in the lion's skin

The truth has surfaced again

Now I can't make this worse than it is

(Closer...)

Now I can't make this worse than it is

(Closer...)

Now I can't make this worse than it is
