Saint Judas by Ethel Cain Lyrics

Oh, Judas
You’ve got me wrapped around your finger
The kiss I once received so sweetly
Will lead me down into my grave

Oh, Judas
What did I ever do to hurt you
You told me once that you loved me
What caused you now to misbehave?

Oh, Judas
You sold me out for blood and water
For coins of copper
For stones of glass

Oh, Judas
Was I who made you so unhappy
The one who drove you now to madness
The ghost who won't stay in your past

Oh Judas
Please, won’t you just give me an answer
We both know I don’t have much time left
Before they take me now away
Oh Judas
I thought that I could make you happy
I tried so hard to make you love me
But I have just led you astray

Saint Judas
The beast will gnaw on you forever
My love, this isn’t what I wanted
But this debt is yours and yours alone

Saint Judas
Judas Iscariot, the sinner
The deepest circle you reside now
The only place to call your home
