Lyrics

LIAR LIAR
Shadows Damnation · Lilith Vampira

[INTRO — Whispered vocals, ticking clock, distant choir]

HER: You said you loved me.
HIM: I do.
HER: Then why does everything you touch turn to ashes?

HER — SCREAMING:
YOU LIED!

VERSE 1 — Rapid-fire vocals

You came like thunder, dressed in gold,
Sold me forever, left me cold!
Two loaded hearts and a war of pride,
Both too stubborn to run, too scared to hide!

You said those words, I let them in,
Trusted the saint beneath your skin!
A thousand promises, a thousand knives—
You kissed my lips while you buried us alive!

I fought your silence, you fought my flame,
We played at love like a losing game!
You'd rather win than admit you're wrong,
Now hear my heartbreak become your song!

[PRE-CHORUS — Strings ascending, vocals building]

I GAVE YOU EVERYTHING!
You gave me alibis!
I BUILT A HOME WITH YOU!
You built it out of lies!

You wanted a war?
NOW LOOK ME IN THE EYES!

CHORUS — Full symphonic metal explosion

LIAR, LIAR, YOU BURNED MY HEART!
I BURN YOUR FIRE, TEAR YOUR WORLD APART!
LIGHT THE MATCH, WATCH THE FLICKER OF FLAME!
I'M THE KEROSENE THAT WILL DESTROY YOUR NAME!

LIAR! LIAR! — HEAR THE ANGELS CRY!
LIAR! LIAR! — WATCH YOUR KINGDOM DIE!
You made a promise, then you buried the truth—
NOW THE FIRE'S COMING BACK FOR YOU!

LIAR! LIAR!
THE TRUTH WILL NEVER BURN!
LIAR! LIAR!
NOW IT'S YOUR TURN!

[VERSE 2 — Fast, aggressive vocals over galloping riffs]

You knew my weakness, you knew my scars,
Promised me heaven, delivered me stars
That burned out quickly in a blackened sky,
While I kept loving the man behind the lie!

And don't play innocent, don't play confused,
You had my faith and you watched it get bruised!
I had my pride, you had yours like a crown,
We kept building walls till the whole thing came down!

I won't pretend that I'm blameless here,
I fought with my anger, disguised my fear!
But I never swore that forever was real
Just to watch you destroy what I struggled to heal!

You wanted forgiveness without changing a thing,
Wanted a loyal heart while you played at being king!
Now tell your story, twist every frame—
You can bury the truth, but remember my name!

[PRE-CHORUS 2 — Choir, rising orchestra, pounding drums]

I WAS YOUR SHELTER!
YOU WERE MY STORM!
I KEPT ON FIGHTING!
YOU KEPT ME WORN!

You thought I'd shatter!
You thought I'd crawl!
NOW WATCH ME RISE ABOVE IT ALL!

CHORUS — Bigger, faster, layered screams

LIAR, LIAR, YOU BURNED MY HEART!
I BURN YOUR FIRE, TEAR YOUR WORLD APART!
LIGHT THE MATCH, WATCH THE FLICKER OF FLAME!
I'M THE KEROSENE THAT WILL DESTROY YOUR NAME!

LIAR! LIAR! — HEAR THE ANGELS CRY!
LIAR! LIAR! — WATCH YOUR KINGDOM DIE!
You made a promise, then you buried the truth—
NOW THE FIRE'S COMING BACK FOR YOU!

[CINEMATIC BRIDGE — Piano, strings, haunting female vocals]

Maybe we were doomed from the start,
Two stubborn souls with defensive hearts.
You wanted control, I wanted the truth,
And pride took everything we ever knew.

I would've stayed through the darkest night,
Would've held your hand through the fiercest fight.
But I can't keep drowning to keep you afloat,
Can't build a future on words you revoke.

You said forever...
I believed you...
And that's the part that still cuts through...

I loved you.

BUT I WON'T DIE TRYING TO PROVE IT!

[BREAKDOWN — Half-time drums, orchestral brass, crushing guitars]

YOU! SAID! LOVE!
I! BELIEVED!
YOU! BUILT! LIES!
I! BROKE! FREE!

No more begging!
No more pain!
No more standing in your hurricane!

You struck the match!
You fed the flame!
Now you can't control what you became!

I AM NOT YOUR VICTIM!
I AM NOT YOUR PRIZE!
I AM THE VOICE THAT EXPOSES YOUR LIES!

LIAR!
LIAR!
SAY IT TO MY FACE!
LIAR!
LIAR!
YOU CAN'T ERASE—

THE HEART YOU BROKE!
THE TRUST YOU STOLE!
THE GIRL WHO GAVE YOU HER VERY SOUL!

[FINAL CHORUS — Maximum speed, orchestra, choir and screams]

LIAR, LIAR, YOU BURNED MY HEART!
I BURN YOUR FIRE, WATCH YOUR EMPIRE FALL APART!
LIGHT THE MATCH, WATCH THE FLICKER OF FLAME!
I'M THE KEROSENE THAT WILL DESTROY YOUR NAME!

LIAR! LIAR! — I SEE THROUGH YOUR DISGUISE!
LIAR! LIAR! — NO MORE BEAUTIFUL LIES!
Two stubborn hearts, now a world between—
YOU LOST THE REALLEST LOVE YOU'VE EVER SEEN!

YOU SAID FOREVER!
FOREVER WAS A LIE!
YOU SAID YOU LOVED ME!
THEN WATCH THAT LOVE DIE!

[OUTRO — Orchestral collapse, final guitar chord]

You said you loved me.
I believed you.
Never again.

Liar, liar...
The fire remembers.
