Crown of Thorns - Niviane

Always playing the martyr

Devoid of power on a solitary throne

Commanding unheard orders

Defiant and alone

Impressive no longer

Enlightened allies have left you in the cold

Abandoned and delusional

It’s just you against the world

Welcome to your nightmare

Now exposed and waging war

Welcome to your nightmare

You’re no messiah in a crown of thorns

Lost in denial

Pitiful and entangled in distress

Trapped in the 11 th hour

…much too late to confess

Potential paths to freedom

Sturdy bridges now charred black and collapsed

Each on a sentence

St ablaze by your own hands

Welcome to your nightmare

Now exposed and waging war

Welcome to your nightmare

You’re no messiah in a crown of thorns

Deceptive and charming

A well-played disguise

The spider is dying

Caught up in its own web of lies

Plays the martyr

Now exposed

Waging war

A crown of thorns

Always playing the martyr

You’ve made your bed

Now lie in it

Welcome to your nightmare

Now exposed and waging war

Welcome to your nightmare

You’re no messiah in a crown of thorns

Always playing the martyr

Wear your crown of thorns
