[Verse 1] I wake in ash Tongue tastes of copper and dust Neck still remembers the rope But it’s the heart that hangs me up Hands still smell like bread Warm From that final night His eyes in every shadow His name in every bite [Chorus] Oh Thirty silver lullaby Ringing in my skull tonight Every coin a choir Screaming "You were bought You were bought" I sold the sun for a colder sky Now every star avoids my sight I am the echo that God forgot Yet I still hear Him cry [Verse 2] Crow of the morning cuts Through this unending dusk Ground will not swallow my shame Even the grave spits up my trust I traded a kiss for a kingdom Found only splinters and stone They say His blood can cleanse them But who will wash my own? [Chorus] Oh Thirty silver lullaby Ringing in my skull tonight Every coin a choir Screaming "You were bought You were bought" I sold the sun for a colder sky Now every star avoids my sight I am the echo that God forgot Yet I still hear Him cry [Bridge] [Choir swells under solo tenor] I am the question that mercy dreads The rope The tree The broken neck If He forgives the ones who pierced His flesh What of the hand that led them there? [Final Chorus] Oh Thirty silver lullaby Burning through these endless nights If His arms are open Why can’t they reach this place I rot? I sold the sun for a colder sky Fell through the dark and never stopped I am the wound beneath His cross And I still hear Him cry (Judas…) As I learn how a traitor dies
