Treachery

Music: Giuseppe Bondi

Lyrics: Claudio Diprima

I'm the servant of the crown now and forever

No evil's bigger than the pain now I feel

I damn my heart for few promises forever

I keep on fighting, I make me strong

My lie has me in its power and chains up my soul

Because I only dream I deserve to die

Please forgive me oh my King for secrets in my heart

It's going against my nature, I'm going against my will

For few lands I betrayed, I will burn in Hell forever

Oh my King my treachery you will never forget

In my eyes there is no light anymore

Now I beg your mercy

I live for loyalty

I'm the servant of the crown now and forever

No evil's bigger than the pain now I feel

I damn my heart for few promises forever

Please forgive me oh my King for secrets in my heart

It's going against my nature, I'm going against my will

For few lands I betrayed, I will burn in Hell forever

Oh my King my treachery you will never forget

In my eyes there is no light anymore

I shall never come back to this reign again

'cause the treachery is pain for me

His promises of glory damned my soul in that night

And now my holy steel cannot fight

To hide my treachery and my despair anymore

And now my holy steel cannot fight

To hide my treachery and my despair anymore
