The Traitor Lyrics

Album: Elegies

The Traitor

Your sky is crying for someone, clouds hanging low

And god plays sad and innocent for drowning men in tears of sorrow

I think he's enjoying the people's worry

And laughing for the whole tragic story

Pointing down like a king to slaves,

Ending lives, sending them to their graves

But when ashes are scattered and wind taken his own

- It took a little piece to the gates,

Into the timeless place, far away from there

Where some stranger has commited a sin

And stolen a breath in the night, it happens again.

And why do all the good ones meet their fate too soon?

If god's deciding who's breathing and who is not

Take them to your room -

All the dregs of society and end their days, send them to eternity

I hate to see the news everyday

How some child was born to die, in vain

But when ashes are scattered and wind taken his own

- It took a little piece to the gates,

Into the timeless place, far away from there

Where some stranger has commited a sin

And stolen a breath in the night, it happens again.
