i was looking through my entries for s8 and how did this not go top 10 but anchor did
False ProphetShe was the light, alone in the dark
Wondering why she'd fallen apart
Or who it was that had led her astray
Or where she went wrong in her way
In blistering silence and solitude
She gives herself up as an offering
She offered her life in exchange for
The remains of her false prophecy
Prechorus:
And then she hears his voice
When she awakes, in the night
So tender and terrible
Like a mad man's lullaby
Like a mad man's lullaby
Like a mad man's lullaby
Chorus:
How unrighteous is a man
Who loves for his own profit
Into the darkness, she ran
Led astray by a false prophet
Led astray by a false prophet
Led astray by a false prophet
And her eyes flooded to black
Like the echoes of empty promise
And no light could bring her back
Forsaken by a false prophet
Forsaken by a false prophet
Forsaken by a false prophet
Verse 2:
She called him Judas
For a host of poetic reasons
Because he smelled like betrayal,
And of heresy and treason
He was a fool on the run
And she was overcome
And she couldn't help herself
She dragged him back to hell
His blood, smearing across the floor
She watched it all pour out
"There's no more running now.
My chains have been unbound."
She lit a match and sent him
Back six feet under ground
Prechorus:
And then she hears his voice
When she awakes, in the night
So tender and terrible
Like a mad man's lullaby
Like a mad man's lullaby
Like a mad man's lullaby
Chorus:
How unrighteous is a man
Who loves for his own profit
Into the darkness, she ran
Led astray by a false prophet
Led astray by a false prophet
Led astray by a false prophet
And her eyes flooded to black
Like the echoes of empty promise
And no light could bring her back
Forsaken by a false prophet
Forsaken by a false prophet
Bridge:
In testimonials, he wailed & weeped
Because he too had been forsaken
Exiled out by the lifeless eyes
He'd never thought could awaken
And soon all the darkness he'd sent
Into the world began to surround him
Careful whispers enclosed him
And his sins were left unbounded
Then his revelations of retribution
Began to fade into hindsight
For darkness would always be there
When she awakes, in the night
the second verse was a bit too Florence-y, i suppose.
no shade at him either, hunter was just quick with results (comments, not so much but thats more reliant on the judges)
