Echoes of Betrayal

Behind closed doors, you whispered lies Veil of darkness in your eyes With each secret, a piece of us died How could love survive your guise? [Pre-Chorus] Echoes of the love that you feigned Shards of the past cut through the disdain If it's torn, can trust be regained? [Chorus] Bound to the shadow of deceit Can't reclaim the heart you've betrayed Wandering through this night, led by pain My trust's the shroud you've woven In silence, I mourn what was pure In the ruins (cold ruins), truth lies bare A fortress fallen in despair In the pieces, reflections of your guise In this requiem, our love's last cries [Pre-Chorus] Haunted by the ghost of your embrace In every corner, I see your face Amidst the sorrow, heartstrings unwind A melody of a love now confined [Chorus] Blinded by the tears, a trail of the misled Searching for the light, in darkness I tread Eclipsed by your lies, the love that has died A swan song ascends as I sever the ties Embers of us, they turn to dust Fading echoes in a hall of mistrust Where once was fire, now only cold A tale of a heart bought and sold [Pre-Chorus] Whispers turn to screams within As I peel away your sin
