Crown of Thorns Lyrics

Always playing the martyr
Devoid of power on a solitary throne
Commanding unheard orders
Defiant and alone

Impressive no longer
Enlightened allies have left you in the cold
Abandoned and delusional
It's just you against the world

Welcome to your nightmare
Now exposed and waging war
Welcome to your nightmare
You're no messiah in a crown of thorns

Lost in denial
Pitiful and entangled in distress
Trapped in the 11th hour
...much too late to confess

Potential paths to freedom
Sturdy bridges now charred black and collapsed
Each one a sentence
Set ablaze by your own hands

Welcome to your nightmare
Now exposed and waging war
Welcome to your nightmare
You're no messiah in a crown of thorns

Deceptive and charming
A well-played disguise
The spider is dying
Caught up in its own web of lies

Plays the martyr
Now exposed
Waging war
A crown of thorns
Always playing the martyr

You've made your bed
Now lie in it

Welcome to your nightmare
Now exposed and waging war
Welcome to your nightmare
You're no messiah in a crown of thorns

Always playing the martyr
Wear your crown of thorns
