Rope And Ladder

I've been infected by a vile venom
This skepticism has crept inside of me
And it's rendered useless my ability
To trust a single soul other than me

Oh, they all, they all are after more than their doctrine suggests

Don't believe a word they're feeding you, they're poisonous
They're all lies caramelized to taste so sweet
Sugar coated fabrications and deceit
Your blood is gold and the knife is just a tap
And the riches out will flow of the incisions in your back

They'll braid my veins and stack my bones
They'll make rope and a ladder
They'll climb up and over, they'll climb up and over

Don't believe a word they're feeding you, they're poisonous
They're all lies caramelized to taste so sweet
Sugar coated fabrications and deceit
Your blood is gold and the knife is just a tap
And the riches out will flow of the incisions in your back

My love, my bride, I've never been so terrified
I see deceit in their eyes, I see the greed in their smiles
And all we know, for all we know could be a lie
It could all be a lie, it could all be a lie

You're the only truth I've ever known
You're the only seal that's never broken
The only skin that's never scarred
The only rule that hasn't bent
You're the purest of intents
You illuminate as bright as a light can get

But this world is dark and cold
And you're blinding and burning it

Don't let them put you out
You're the only light left
You're the only light left
You're the only light

(You're the only truth I've ever known)
Don't let them put you out
(You're the only seal that's never broken)
You're the only light left
You're the only light left
You're the only light

Don't let them put you out
You're the only light left
You're the only light left
You're the only light

Don't let them put you out
You're the only light left
You're the only light left
You're the only light left

They'll braid my veins and stack my bones
They'll make rope and a ladder
