[Verse 1] Smoke in the hall of the high one Gold on the table Oaths in the air I toast with a crooked smile Hide the spark in my hair Gods all drunk on their honor Boasting of glory Blind to the game I lace every laugh with a promise Carving runes in their names [Chorus] Trickster’s tongue Cuts like steel Then turns to honey Watch me twist the world for fun One small lie And all your shining halls come crashing Call it fate I call it a good time [Verse 2] Chains in the cave of my making Venom above you Drip after drip I taught you to fear my laughter Now you flinch when I sip [low vocal register] I whispered a path for the giant Showed him the cracks in your wall You called it a sacred wedding I called it a long fall [Pre-Chorus] I warned you In riddles and riddles again You crowned me Then cursed me Then needed a friend [Chorus] [Bridge] [whispered vocals] Who put the mistletoe in the feast? Who marked the heart you couldn’t miss? Who lit the fuse beneath your feet? My fingerprints in every twist [growled backing] You wanted war? I brought the spark You wanted peace? I sold you the dark [Chorus]
