The Seeds Of Betrayal
Intense
A godless soul without a hope
A hollow man drifting without a north star.
Betrayed a man the people loved
I stabbed the one who held the people's heart.
I was not alone in my doubt
My hesitation was mirrored by others.
So I betrayed and cast him out
I chose the path of the traitor and discarded him.
No remorse floods over me
My heart is ice, there’s no room for guilt.
As I see his blood run freely
Watching the sacrifice with zero emotion.
I knew the tale would pass through the years
I understood the legend I was crafting for posterity.
As weakened people embraced their fears
Feeding on the cowardice of the masses.
Do I stop to explain it all
Should I even bother revealing the truth?
Or let them carry on their foolish cause
Or just let them play out their pathetic devotion?
I started this so it lays with me
The weight of the origin sits squarely on my shoulders.
The unwilling founder of Christianity
I birthed this faith, though I’m its deepest skeptic.
The seeds of betrayal
Everything was planted on a lie.
The seeds of betrayal rest with me
The rot began at the root, and I’m the gardener.
The seeds of betrayal
Every branch of this story is poisoned.
The seeds of betrayal are because of me
It all tracks back to my singular act of malice.
Now I feel the power in me
I can sense the influence growing stronger.
For all eternity
A legacy that never ends.
You believed what I had said
You blindly swallowed the fiction I created.
It will be your death
Your faith is going to be your downfall.
A Christian nation now will arise
A new world order born from my deception.
Born through my lies
Built on a foundation of pure deceit.
What will your people have to say
I wonder what the followers will think,
When they find out your mistake
When the truth finally shatters their faith.
The seeds of betrayal
The lies are growing into a forest.
The seeds of betrayal rest with me
I’m the architect of this grand fabrication.
The seeds of betrayal
Deception flows through the timeline.
The seeds of betrayal are because of me
The ultimate guilt belongs to me alone.
The power of conviction will guide you
Your blind faith will lead you to the cliff.
And blind you from the truth
Keeping you from ever seeing the reality.
Will I cry for the victim of my hand
Why would I mourn the man I chose to discard?
He served a purpose
He was just a means to an end.
Some say prophet, others say guide
They can label him whatever they want.
I am neither
I am beyond those petty titles.
I had a man empty his veins
I orchestrated his downfall for my own amusement.
Whilst myself I am entertained
And I’ve enjoyed every second of the show.
The seeds of betrayal
The harvest of lies is eternal.
The seeds of betrayal rest with me
The foundation remains in my grasp.
The seeds of betrayal
Deep, dark, and growing.
The seeds of betrayal are because of me
It all starts and ends with my betrayal.
