change the motives under; banished
from, memories, temptation lines weak
when true colors show; that is why,
it burns, like guilt does when we
compromise the things we hold close

set off betrayal's stage, if that's
what you desire, it's war to be waged,

set off betrayal's stage, if that's
what you desire, it's war to be waged,
right in the public eye, you ask for
redemption, and masses will follow
