The Wicked One lyrics

[Verse 1]

Made your bed in darkness with your eyes wide shut

A million fact omissions and a sneering trust

You say “it’s easy”

Do you feel safe? They turn violent and you cave

[Chorus]

Secrets steal the fire so burn down all that you need

Every belief

Hiding your desires in words that cannot be seen

You are The Wicked One

[Verse 2]

Your life is hollow and so is your head

We are ready to rise again

You’re a victim – the greatest con

Time is a weapon because you’re gone

[Chorus]

Secrets steal the fire so burn down all that you need

Every belief

Hiding your desires in words that cannot be seen

Hail to the thief

When the truth becomes your demon

How can you just keep believing?

Hiding your desires in words that cannot be seen

You are The Wicked One

[Post-Chorus]

This torment drains the righteous and it lives to sing in silence

[Chorus]

Secrets steal the fire so burn down all that you need

Every belief

Hiding your desires in words that cannot be seen

Hail to the thief

When the truth becomes your demon

How can you just keep believing?

Hiding your desires in words that cannot be seen

You are The Wicked One
