Every Oath Tastes Like Fire

I’ve sworn my name, I’ve sworn my lies, Each one burns when the daylight dies. The tongue is ash, the truth is dire, Every oath tastes like fire.

(Male) Every oath tastes like fire, (Female) Burns the lips and climbs higher. (Together) Promises fall in smoke and choir, Every oath tastes like fire.

(Male) I held the Bible, I held the knife, (Female) And both can cut the same in life. (Male) My vows don’t last, they just conspire, (Female) To prove each oath tastes like fire.

(Male) Every oath tastes like fire, (Female) Burns the heart, no saints inspire. (Together) Ashes speak where words expire, Every oath tastes like fire.

(Female) You swear for love, you swear for gold, But flames reveal the lies you hold. (Male – whisper echo) No truth, no faith, no choir… (Female – rising) Just every oath that tastes like fire.

(Male) Every oath tastes like fire, (Female) Burns the lips and climbs higher. (Together) Promises fall in smoke and choir, Every oath tastes like fire.
