The Judas Kiss

A dark and intense track from *Death Magnetic*, 2008

When the world has turned its back
When the days have turned pitch black
When the fear abducts your tongue
When the fire's dead and gone
So what now?
Where go I?

When you think it's all said and done
Bow down
Sell your soul to me
I will set you free
Pacify your demons

Bow down
Surrender unto me
Submit infectiously
Sanctify your demons

Into abyss, you don't exist
Cannot resist, the Judas kiss

Chorus

When the storm has blacked your sky
Intuition crucify
When the ego strips your reign
Assassinate the living flame

So what now?
Where go I?

When you think it's all said and done
Bow down
Sell your soul to me
I will set you free
Pacify your demons

Bow down
Surrender unto me
Submit infectiously
Sanctify your demons

Into abyss, you don't exist
Cannot resist, the Judas kiss

Verse 3

Judas lives, recite this vow
I've become your new god now
Followed you from dawn of time
Whispered thoughts into your mind

Watched your towers hit the ground
Lured the children never found
Helped your kings abuse their crown
In the heart of feeble man
Plant the seeds of my own plan

The strong and powerful will fall
Find a piece of me in all
Inside you all

So bow down
Sell your soul to me
I will set you free
Pacify your demons

Bow down
Surrender unto me
Submit infectiously
Sanctify your demons

Into abyss, you don't exist
Cannot resist, the Judas kiss

Outro

Ah, Judas
