The Butcher of Seville versuri

Versuri SoundMojo – The Butcher of Seville lyrics

Steel-string grin, I sharpen the night
Silk-gloved tyrants toast by candlelight
They laugh behind lace and marble halls
I count the footsteps, I hear the falls
Whispers bleed through the cathedral air
Gold buys silence, guilt buys prayer
I am the echo you can’t outrun
The joke’s on you — the blade’s begun

You sold the truth for velvet chains
Signed your soul in crimson ink
Now the city knows your name
And the crowd is at the brink

I am the BUTCHER… OF SEVILLE
Hear the crowd begin to roar
Laughing as the masks all shatter
Justice knocking at your door
Butcher… OF SEVILLE
No more secrets, no disguise
When the aria turns to thunder
Watch the mighty fall — surprise!

Contracts carved in bone and fear
Promises rot year by year
You crowned yourself untouchable
I made your ending inevitable
Violins scream, the city burns
Every debt eventually returns
Comedy dressed in tragedy’s skin
The punchline lands — let the show begin

Tick-tock! Time to pay!
No encore! No curtain call!
You played the crowd — now feel the blade
From balcony to gallows wall

I am the BUTCHER… OF SEVILLE
History laughs last tonight
When the joker cuts the king down
Comedy becomes the fight
