lyrics

My friends will always have my back
through thick an thin
I'm glad that I can say,
that you're not one of them.
You used to be our brother.
Someone to rely on.
Now I can't even come to you
when i'm hurt, down and broken.

The prince of betrayal,
hath worn the crown.
Meant to strike down everyone who helped him gain the throne.

We'll take turns spitting on his grave.

The greed had gone to his head.
That will never become me.
The martyr gave a man a second chance.
He took his life for granted.
He stole from the weak and the poor.
Never should''ve been given a chance at redemption.
Stripped of his wealth, he suffers now.
Of what he stole is his debt.
The story of a man I used to know.
He was my brother.

I know you won't listen to the words in this song,
but just know that they're here for you.

The greed had gone to his head.
That will never become me.
The martyr gave a man a second chance.
He took his life for granted.
He stole from the weak and the poor.
Never should''ve been given a chance at redemption.
Stripped of his wealth, he suffers now.
Of what he stole is his debt.
The story of a man I used to know.
He was my brother.

We don't need you.
