The Traitor's Mark Lyrics - Madder Mortem

The traitor's mark 

I see myself through read, dead eyes 

I make myself this prison 

For Babylon the time has come 

This time I'm sure you'll listen 

This is the day 

(A given word) 

This is the hour 

(was broken twice) 

Nothing's forgiven and nothing 

will even the score 

I hold my seed, a perfect hate 

I make this mask a weapon 

For every time I lied myself 

a tenfold to your burden 

This is the day 

(A given word) 

This is the hour 

(was broken twice) 

Nothing's forgiven and nothing 

will even the score 

No morning comes to tie my hands 

in tired sleep 

The love I left to die alone 

is all I keep 

My blood is silence in my veins 

It all ends here 

The final bond of innocence 

the last to tear 

The last bitter step 

Through ruins and dirt 

Only one deed remains: 

To lay it all at your feet, dead 

I mark you red, a traitor's mark 

I name an "M" for malice 

For all those years I lived a lie 

One pound of flesh from your body 

This is the day 

(A given word) 

This is the hour 

(was broken twice) 

Nothing but ashes to mourn for 

I have betrayed 

all that I am 

Nothing's forgiven and nothing 

will even the score
