[Intro]
Candles burned with serpent tongues
Wine was red as royal blood
Laughter hid the sharpened knives
At the feast where honor died

[Verse]
They gathered in the marble hall
With rings on every hand
They toasted to the kingdom
While they sold the promised land

The king believed their praises
The queen believed their tears
But silver smiles were daggers
That had been honed for years

[Pre-Chorus]
Behind the song, behind the wine
They drew the treason line
And as the midnight bells released
They crowned themselves at the traitor’s feast

[Chorus]
The Traitor’s Feast
Where the wolves wore golden chains
The Traitor’s Feast
Where honor died in flames
They drank to peace, they whispered war
They opened every hidden door
The Traitor’s Feast
Shall be paid in steel and pain

[Verse]
A servant saw the banners fall
A guard heard muffled cries
The prince was sent to darkness
Before the first sunrise

They poisoned loyal captains
They bribed the palace guard
They fed the poor with speeches
Then left them cold and scarred

[Pre-Chorus]
The tables groaned, the torches hissed
The king received the Judas kiss
And through the halls, the shadows increased
Around the wine of the traitor’s feast

[Chorus]
The Traitor’s Feast
Where the wolves wore golden chains
The Traitor’s Feast
Where honor died in flames
They drank to peace, they whispered war
They opened every hidden door
The Traitor’s Feast
Shall be paid in steel and pain

[Instrumental]
Black wine
Cold bread
False vows
Crowned dead

[Bridge]
I see their faces in my dreams
Their jeweled hands, their silent screams
Not yet, not yet, but soon they’ll know
The price of what they chose to sow

[Breakdown]
Feast of lies
Feast of shame
Feast of knives
Feast of flame

[Build-up]
Let the goblets crack in fear
Let the guilty know I’m near
Every toast and every beast
Shall choke upon the traitor’s feast

[Chorus]
The Traitor’s Feast
Where the wolves wore golden chains
The Traitor’s Feast
Where honor died in flames
They drank to peace, they whispered war
They opened every hidden door
The Traitor’s Feast
Shall be paid in steel and pain

[Chorus]
The Traitor’s Feast
I remember every name
The Traitor’s Feast
I shall answer flame with flame
No crown of lies shall ever last
No poison hides the murdered past
The Traitor’s Feast
Shall be paid in steel and pain

[Outro]
The candles fade
The ravens cry
The feast is done
But guilt cannot die
