Silver Blade, Steady Hand

[Verse 1] Broken gate Ash in her hair Names on her tongue Smoke in the air Marble saints Cracked at the knees Golden thrones Built on pleas She walks through the ruin Boot prints in blood and wine Every step is a verdict Every breath draws a line [Chorus] Silver blade Steady hand She is Justice where they stand Gods above and beasts below She decides how far they go Silver blade Shining cold Cuts the story priests have told In a world of gods and monsters She is the law they can’t control [Verse 2] False halos Crowns made of lies Teeth in the dark Glow hungry eyes They promise mercy With venomous grins She answers softly “Confess your sins” She’s the last thin answer Between terror and the ground When the idols start to tremble At the sound of nothing bowed [Chorus] Silver blade Steady hand She is Justice where they stand Gods above and beasts below She decides how far they go Silver blade Shining cold Cuts the story priests have told In a world of gods and monsters She is the law they can’t control [Bridge] She doesn’t pray She doesn’t plead She knows exactly What they need One true measure Edge and spine “Face your crimes Or face this line” (hey!) [Chorus] Silver blade Steady hand She is Justice where they stand Gods above and beasts below She decides how far they go Silver blade Shining cold Writes the truth they never told In a world of gods and monsters She is the law they can’t control She is the law they can’t control
