[Intro]
I'll betray my blood
And I swore I wouldn't
Sell 'em down the river
When I know I shouldn't
I'll betray my blood
And I swore I wouldn't
Sell 'em down the river
When I know I shouldn't
I'll betray my blood
And I swore I wouldn't

[Verse 1]
Blood is nothing when it's up against a churning stomach
Watch me turn it from a summit to a perfect plummet
Misfit youth in the sunset of a perfect summer
I know I'm certain of it
Don't know what I'm learning from it
It maybe trumps the water
But not my appetite
I know they say we look the same
But we don't act alike
Victim to a mercenary clad in white
Box full of Turkish and a tongue full of savage lies
So lay me down
And say it's different
Say it's what my hateful kindred say it isn't
Say you love me and I'll sell 'em down this angry river
She wants me dead and I just want her to take me with her
[Hook]
I'll betray my blood
And I swore I wouldn't
Sell 'em down the river
When I know I shouldn't
I'll betray my blood
And I swore I wouldn't

[Verse 2]
Blood trumps the water but could never trump my avarice
Do I trust a mortal man or do I trust the averages?
Did he cry for Lazarus or did I just imagine it?
Am I talking to a savior or some carpenter from Nazareth?
He looked at me and he could see that I was leaving
Fighting demons, fighting reason, I was Legion
Blood could trump the water but could never trump my treason
Thirty silver pieces beats the garden where he's bleeding
Praying for this cup to pass from his lips
And for the evil sealed the [?] with a brother's kiss
What you're doing, do it quickly
Words that turn my heart to nothing
Nothing's what this bloody money gets me

[Outro]
You found a martyr for this cripple lamb
And I live with thirty pieces in my hand
Woah woah
