The Tongue of Judas

The tongue of Judas snaps at you
You never thought it would come
When a god lays down his throne
And turns his back on the glittering sun

Fingers waving rings of gold
Damn you where you sit
If this is what an idol leaves you
We ain't left with shit

His image now gray and dusty
His hands now calloused and thick
Nobody gets it all
But he's never been one to quit

Flashbulbs follow everywhere
Helicopters hover overhead
He defends his position so gallantly
After we're trampled beneath his tread

As his world is charging after him
A hero claims no conceit
The tongue of Judas is eager
When wrestling with deceit
