lyrics
I’ve been infected by a vile venom
This skepticism has crept inside of me
And it’s rendered useless my ability
To trust a single soul other than me
Oh, they all are after more than their doctrine suggests
Don’t believe a word they’re feeding you, they’re poisonous
They’re all lies caramelized to taste so sweet, sugar coated fabrications and deceit
Your blood is gold and the knife is just a tap
And the riches out will flow of the incisions in your back
They’ll braid my veins and stack my bones
They’ll make rope and a ladder
They’ll climb up and over, they’ll climb up and over
Don’t believe a word they’re feeding you, they’re poisonous
They’re all lies caramelized to taste so sweet, sugar coated fabrications and deceit
Your blood is gold and the knife is just a tap
And the riches out will flow of the incisions in your back
My love, my bride, I’ve never been so terrified
I see deceit in their eyes, I see the greed in their smiles
And all we know, for all we know could be a lie
It could all be a lie, it could all be a lie
You’re the only truth I’ve ever known
You’re the only seal that’s never broken
The only skin that’s never scarred
The only rule that hasn’t bent
You’re the purest of intents
You illuminate as bright as a light can get
But this world is dark and cold
And you’re blinding and burning it
Don’t let them put you out
You’re the only light left
This skepticism has crept inside of me
And it’s rendered useless my ability
To trust a single soul other than me
Oh, they all are after more than their doctrine suggests
Don’t believe a word they’re feeding you, they’re poisonous
They’re all lies caramelized to taste so sweet, sugar coated fabrications and deceit
Your blood is gold and the knife is just a tap
And the riches out will flow of the incisions in your back
They’ll braid my veins and stack my bones
They’ll make rope and a ladder
They’ll climb up and over, they’ll climb up and over
Don’t believe a word they’re feeding you, they’re poisonous
They’re all lies caramelized to taste so sweet, sugar coated fabrications and deceit
Your blood is gold and the knife is just a tap
And the riches out will flow of the incisions in your back
My love, my bride, I’ve never been so terrified
I see deceit in their eyes, I see the greed in their smiles
And all we know, for all we know could be a lie
It could all be a lie, it could all be a lie
You’re the only truth I’ve ever known
You’re the only seal that’s never broken
The only skin that’s never scarred
The only rule that hasn’t bent
You’re the purest of intents
You illuminate as bright as a light can get
But this world is dark and cold
And you’re blinding and burning it
Don’t let them put you out
You’re the only light left

about
Rope and Ladder Boston, Massachusetts
Rope and Ladder is the band and rock opera created by Jay Clark and Ryan Dolen.
The project has
been more than 10 years in the making—in that time, Jay and Ryan pieced together a narrative of epic scope steeped in intrigues of war, love, and betrayal.
The album balances delicate piano against distorted guitars, driving the palpable tension that accompanies the rising stakes of the plotline.
