Your Treachery Dies Today
Betrayed Trust and Redemption: Your Treachery Ends Today
Lyrics
At the sound of your command we could only comply
Compliance to commands without questioning, submission to authority.
We climbed up that ladder but never ever dared to ask why
Ascending without questioning the purpose or reason behind the actions.
Our trust made way for treachery
Trust has been replaced by betrayal.
There is no knife that cuts so sharply and with such a poisoned blade
Betrayal is depicted as a sharp, poisonous knife causing deep harm.
And so we were betrayed
The narrator and others were deceived and betrayed.
A dirty secret in plain sight
A hidden and morally questionable truth visible to all.
A million knives you stuck in our backs
Numerous instances of betrayal and deceit.
How could we possibly have known?
The impossibility of foreseeing the deception.
You set your traps and you pulled your tricks
Reference to the planning and execution of deceitful acts.
A crime devours its own child
A metaphorical description of the destructive nature of a crime.
And I'll be watching how your greed destroys you and your deception
Observing the consequences of greed and deception.
Today we will end your treachery
Declaration of putting an end to the treacherous actions.
It all dies today
A firm resolve to end the deceitful behavior.
Our trust made way for treachery
Reiteration of trust being replaced by betrayal.
There is no knife that cuts so sharply and with such a poisoned blade
Emphasis on the sharp and poisonous nature of betrayal.
And so we were betrayed
Confirmation of being betrayed.
Boiled to death before we noticed it
Metaphor of being deceived without realizing it, likened to boiling alive.
The temperature, slowly rising up, numbed us and lulled us to death
The gradual and unnoticed increase in deception.
Boiled to death before we noticed it
Repetition of the boiling metaphor and the numbing effect of deception.
The temperature, slowly rising up, numbed us
The gradual numbing effect of deceit.
We were left for dead
The result of being deceived – left for dead.
If life is but a brief crack of light between two eternities of darkness
Philosophical reflection on the brevity of life and the need to make it meaningful.
Shouldn't we only try to make it worth?
A rhetorical question urging the pursuit of a worthwhile life.
Make good use of the time we're given or else it'll be all in vain.
Encouragement to use time effectively to avoid it being in vain.
A dirty secret in plain sight
Reiteration of a hidden and morally questionable truth visible to all.
A million knives you stuck in our backs
Emphasis on the multitude of betrayals experienced.
How could we possibly have known?
Reiteration of the difficulty in foreseeing deception.
You set your traps and you pulled your tricks
Reference to the planning and execution of deceitful acts.
A crime devours its own child
A metaphorical description of the destructive nature of a crime.
And I'll be watching how your greed destroys you and your deception
Observing the consequences of greed and deception.
Today we will end your treachery
Declaration of putting an end to the treacherous actions.
It all dies today
A final affirmation that all the deceit will end today.
