[Intro] Dig beneath the frozen grave Ask the bones what silence gave Every lie that kings defend Finds its knife inside the end [Verse] The bride’s last curse disturbed the stones And opened chambers under snow Where buried tablets, sealed in wax Revealed what none were meant to know The feast-night poison, long proclaimed The other clan’s eternal shame Was poured by hands within the hall By men who feared one crown for all [Pre-Chorus] Read the rune Break the seal Let the buried wound reveal [Chorus] The Betrayer’s Bloodline runs in us all No single house, no single hall The Betrayer’s Bloodline stains every name We fed our children borrowed blame We raised the sword, we praised the sign But guilt runs deep through every line The truth beneath the ancient pine We are the betrayer’s bloodline [Verse] A bastard child was smuggled north Half of one clan, half of the other His name was struck from every song His mother branded oathless lover But from that child, the branches grew In both the red and both the blue Our enemies wore our father’s eyes Our hatred lived because of lies [Pre-Chorus] Read the bone Break the pride No clean blood Remains inside [Chorus] The Betrayer’s Bloodline runs in us all No single house, no single hall The Betrayer’s Bloodline stains every name We fed our children borrowed blame We raised the sword, we praised the sign But guilt runs deep through every line The truth beneath the ancient pine We are the betrayer’s bloodline [Instrumental] Riffs coil like serpents under stone Choirs chant in hollow tone Fiddles twist the ancient theme Like truth returning through a dream [Bridge] What is revenge when names are dust What is honor built on rust What is a feud when bloodlines cross A kingdom trading sons for loss [Breakdown] Lie by lie Grave by grave Pride made master Truth made slave Blood knows blood Bone knows bone No clan pure No guilt alone [Build-up] The warriors stood with lowered blades Before the truth their elders made But truth arrives too late for some When drums of war have learned to run [Chorus] The Betrayer’s Bloodline runs in us all No single house, no single hall The Betrayer’s Bloodline stains every name We fed our children borrowed blame We raised the sword, we praised the sign But guilt runs deep through every line The truth beneath the ancient pine We are the betrayer’s bloodline [Chorus] The Betrayer’s Bloodline breaks every throne No heart can claim its grief alone The Betrayer’s Bloodline cries from the slain End this hunger, end this chain We raised the sword, we praised the sign But guilt runs deep through every line The truth beneath the ancient pine We are the betrayer’s bloodline [Outro] Dig beneath the frozen grave Truth is cruel, but truth may save
