Traitor's Noose
Betrayer's Redemption: Unveiling the Depths of Sacrifice
Lyrics
They know not what they've done
They are unaware of the consequences of their actions
Though I will die the floods are yet to come
Even though I'll perish, there are impending repercussions
Let this prophecy be sung by others who share in this tongue
Let others who speak the same language as I do sing this prophecy
They think they've won
They believe they've emerged victorious
Father, armor me this day
Request for protection from a higher power (God)
My life they've come to claim
My life is targeted by them
I won't be recalled as Judas
I refuse to be remembered as a traitor like Judas
Father, though I shall be slain
Despite facing death, acknowledge our differences
Know we are not the same
Highlighting the dissimilarity between the speaker and their adversaries
For it is all for them I do this
Doing this for the sake of others, not oneself
Drag me
Request to be taken
Drag me to my traitor's noose
To be dragged to face the consequences of betrayal
On my knees
On the verge of submission, possibly pleading
Drag me
Desire to face the consequences of betrayal
Drag me to my traitor's noose
Being brought to face the consequences of betrayal
On my knees
Reiteration of being on the verge of submission, possibly pleading
Hate me
Repetition of a plea for hatred, possibly self-directed or towards the betrayers
Hate me
-Hate me
-Hate me
-Father, armor me this night
Seeking protection from a higher power in the impending night
For I have not much time
Sense of urgency, running out of time
They know not why they choose to do this
They are unaware of the reasons behind their actions
Father, they see through carnal eyes
The betrayers only perceive with earthly, materialistic views
No future in their minds
No consideration for the future consequences of their actions
Punish them for their false hubris
Desire for punishment for their arrogant overconfidence
Drag me
Repetition of a desire to face the consequences of betrayal
Drag me to my traitor's noose
-On my knees
-Drag me
-Drag me to my traitor's noose
-On my knees
-We could live together
Preference for dying alone over living together under current circumstances
But I'd rather die alone
Repeated desire to face the consequences of betrayal
Drag me
Repetition of a desire to face the consequences of betrayal
Drag me to my traitor's noose
-On my knees
-Drag me
-Drag me to my traitor's noose
-On my knees
-Drag me to that noose
Being taken towards facing the consequences
I won't walk by you
Refusal to comply, choosing not to go willingly
Drag me to that noose
Refusal to comply, reaffirmation of resisting
Father, see you soon
Expectation of reuniting with a higher power after death
