Web of Lies
Web of Lies
✨ Inspiration:
Web of Lies rips the mask off betrayal with a snarl, born from the ashes of loyalty torched by deceit. It’s the jagged edge to Many Years Strong’s warm embrace—a raw reckoning for every ounce of trust sold out cheap. When the knife twists, you don’t bleed out; you break free, spitting fire and walking tall.

🎶 Creation Notes:
After baring their souls in Many Years Strong, the band flipped the script, channeling fury into Web of Lies with razor-sharp lyrics and blistering riffs. It’s the dark mirror of enduring love—where trust shatters, guitars scream, and every chord drips with defiance. Less a song, more a Molotov cocktail for the double-crossed.

Lyrics – Web of Lies:
Verse 1
I gave you my time, poured out my sweat,
Built us a life with no regrets.
Every late night, every sacrifice,
You torched it all with your web of lies.
Verse 1
I gave you my time, poured out my sweat,
Built us a life with no regrets.
Every late night, every sacrifice,
You torched it all with your web of lies.
Pre-Chorus
You thought I’d miss the warning signs,
Your feigned love, wasted time.
But I heard the whispers, I caught the lies,
Now I watch as our kingdom dies.
You thought I’d miss the warning signs,
Your feigned love, wasted time.
But I heard the whispers, I caught the lies,
Now I watch as our kingdom dies.
Chorus
Web of lies, played me for a fool,
Took my heart, used me like a tool.
I walked through fire, I paid my dues,
Now I’m free—nothing left to lose.
Web of lies, played me for a fool,
Took my heart, used me like a tool.
I walked through fire, I paid my dues,
Now I’m free—nothing left to lose.
Verse 2
You took my strength, you broke my trust,
Built your world, left mine in dust.
Fed him the fruits of all I gave,
But now you both can dig your grave.
You took my strength, you broke my trust,
Built your world, left mine in dust.
Fed him the fruits of all I gave,
But now you both can dig your grave.
Pre-Chorus
You cut me deep with a traitor’s knife,
But your shadow fades—I own my life.
I won’t be the wreckage left behind,
I rise from this, with a steel-hard mind.
You cut me deep with a traitor’s knife,
But your shadow fades—I own my life.
I won’t be the wreckage left behind,
I rise from this, with a steel-hard mind.
Chorus
Web of lies, played me for a fool,
Took my heart, used me like a tool.
I walked through fire, I paid my dues,
Now I’m free—nothing left to lose.
Web of lies, played me for a fool,
Took my heart, used me like a tool.
I walked through fire, I paid my dues,
Now I’m free—nothing left to lose.
Bridge
No more chains, no more pain,
I’m flushin' you down the drain.
Took my pride, but not my soul,
I'm free of your hefty toll.
And if he thinks he took my place,
Tell him I’d love to rearrange his face! Yeah!
No more chains, no more pain,
I’m flushin' you down the drain.
Took my pride, but not my soul,
I'm free of your hefty toll.
And if he thinks he took my place,
Tell him I’d love to rearrange his face! Yeah!
Final Chorus
Web of lies, played me for a fool,
Took my heart, used me like a tool.
I walked through fire, I paid my dues,
Now I’m free—nothing left to lose.
Web of lies, played me for a fool,
Took my heart, used me like a tool.
I walked through fire, I paid my dues,
Now I’m free—nothing left to lose.
You can keep your hollow dreams,
Your twisted vows and dirty schemes.
But thanks for nothing, now I see,
You were just dead weight, now I walk free.
Your twisted vows and dirty schemes.
But thanks for nothing, now I see,
You were just dead weight, now I walk free.
Outro
I built the house, you set it aflame,
Now you stand in the ruins, screaming my name.
But I won’t look back, I’m done with your game,
Go light your matches—I’m done with the blame.
I built the house, you set it aflame,
Now you stand in the ruins, screaming my name.
But I won’t look back, I’m done with your game,
Go light your matches—I’m done with the blame.
