Treachery Songtext / Lyric

Treachery Lyrics
Eva:
What did you expect she would do with her life?
What did you expect from this treacherous witch
How do you believe that a girl such as this
Could find shame in her heart
I could see from the start
She’s a Judas, a thief and a bitch King:
Be careful what you wish for
Be careful what you search for
I see a dark horizon, rushing in like poison
Be careful what you wish for
Be careful what you crave for
You may release a cruel force
Can you really be so damn sure?

Jagman:
This is my taste of victory
Soon I’ll be part of history
Bow to my utter mastery – Praise in the gods
You will be watching my success
Lord Henry Jagman at his best
More power than any man possessed
Praise to the gods

Ensemble:
Something fantastic will happen tonight
To transform the world and to change all our lives
No chance that tomorrow the sun will arise
On a day unaffected by what greets our eyes

King:
What Jessamine has done was to act on my orders
I paid her to help Jagman find us so he would be
Bloated with triumph, brimming with pride
He will force us to stand at his side

He is a preening idiot: Perhaps we can get stop him
Jagman: Throw the beggar out, the rest will attend the ritual

King:
Be careful what you wish for
Be careful what you search for
I see a dark horizon, rushing in like poison
Be careful what you wish for
Be careful what you crave for
You may release a cruel force
Can you really be so damn sure?

Jagman:
This is my taste of victory
Soon I’ll be part of history
Bow to my utter mastery – Praise to the gods
You will be watching my success
Lord Henry Jagman at his best
More power than any man possessed
Praise to the gods

Ensemble:
Something fantastic will happen tonight
To transform the world and to change all our lives
No chance that tomorrow the sun will arise
On a day unaffected by what greets our eyes

Something fantastic will happen tonight
To transform the world and to change all our lives
No chance that tomorrow the sun will arise
On a day unaffected by what greets our eyes
Day unaffected by what is revealed to our eyes
