Betrayer - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

It was too much for my eyes to take when I stepped onto the scene

But something drove me deeper still, yeah, with this band of angry screams

"Friend, finish what you came here for" when I kissed his tear stained cheek

And though I sparked this catalyst I was too afraid to speak

And nothing I could ever do could take away this pain

And I just stare at these bloody hands

I was finished with my duties then when I turned to walk away

But I shuttered at the work I'd done when I saw his broken face

And the clouds took over everything when his breath escaped no more

The others had deserved this fate, but surely he was something more

And nothing I could ever do could take away this pain

And I just stare at these bloody hands

And nothing I could ever do could take away this pain

And I just stare at these bloody hands

Some would say it's not our fault

Hell, we weren't even born

But I know I'm the reason that the thorns and nails were ever worn

And nothing I could ever do could take away this pain

And I just stare at these bloody hands

There is only one thing that can take away this pain

And I just stare at these bloody hands

There is only one thing that can take away this pain

And I just stare at these bloody hands
