Songtext Silver tongue Alter Bridge

Silver tongue

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
Tooth 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 dar? you all
And breathe my fire
And heed my call

You'r? over the line, under the gun
I am the reason for what you've done
Tooth of a crime, you can't outrun
Under the spell of my silver tongue
You're over the line, under the gun
I'll keep on scheming for what's to come
Tooth 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
Tooth 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
Tooth of a crime, you can't outrun
Under the spell of my silver tongue (Yeah)
