Alter Bridge - Silver Tongue Lyrics

Sitting in my ivory tower
Invincible to fall
Some would say my final hour
As you scale the wall

Step inside
I dare you all
And breathe the lies
And heed the call

When this all is said and done
I will have my way
And you will take the blame

You're over the line, under the gun
I am the reason for what you've done
Truth of a crime you can't outrun
Under the spell of my silver tongue (yeah)

I swear to God I'll find a way
To prove I still belong
I'd rather watch it burn away
Than say that I was wrong

So step inside
I dare you all
And breathe my fire
And heed my call

You're over the line, under the gun
I am the reason for what you've done
Truth of a crime you can't outrun
Under the spell of my silver tongue (yeah)

You're over the line, under the gun
I'll keep on scheming for what's to come
Truth of a crime you can't outrun
Under the spell of my silver tongue

This alliance built on fear and rage
Ends in violence if I have my way

Fear
Spite
Lie to divide us
Hate
Strife
Bring decay

You're over the line, under the gun
I am the reason for what you've done
Truth of a crime you will not outrun
Now you're under the spell of my tongue

You're over the line, under the gun
I am the reason for what you've done
Truth of a crime you can't outrun
Under the spell of my silver tongue
