[Verse 1]
You confessed one day to have been a snake and deceiver
But when your moment came, to shed that skin
You just slithered away
You just slithered away
[Verse 2]
Crystal clear to us all, when you say
"We all want the same thing"
That you don't, you want the bigger piece and the praise
There are those who have seen, and those soon to beware
What your smoke is concealing
Just a trail of bones, atop a lemming's hill
All fallen prey
All fallen prey
All fallen prey
[Chorus]
To the liar
Not a saint
Not a martyr
Just a snake
And a liar
[Verse 3]
We used to believe, when you'd say
"We're all in this together"
No more, we all see
Now the mirror is broken, we all know
What your spell was concealing
Just hollow eyes, a stolen crown
But not a king
No, not a king
No, not a king
[Chorus]
Just the liar
Not a saint
Not a martyr
You're a snake
You're a liar
