Aged Beyond Decay - Well of Lies Lyrics

Jack and Jill lived on the hill,
Hand in hand through the years,
A life of love, a quiet home,
But something stirred in Jill's deepest fears.
She heard the whispers in the town,
Saw Jack's smile when she wasn't around,
A younger face, a stranger's kiss,
And Jill's heart began to twist.
Still, they climbed the hill for the water well,
Where silence began to swell.
Jill tried to ignore the signs at first,
"It's just a phase, it'll pass," she cursed.
But every look, every stolen glance,
Fanned the flames of her slow-burning trance.
The nights grew long, the bed grew cold,
Jack's touch distant, his love controlled.
She watched him leave and come back late,
The well of trust began to break.
Still, they climbed the hill for the water well,
Where lies began to dwell.
The well was deep, like Jill's despair,
She tried to move on, pretend it wasn't there.
But every night, as Jack laid down,
She felt the weight of love's lost crown.
Jack's betrayal burned in her mind,
Every day it grew harder to be kind.
The whispers echoed, truth revealed,
And Jill's fate was slowly sealed.
Still, they climbed the hill for the water well,
Where secrets soon would tell.
One quiet night, Jill made her plan,
"Come, let's walk," she said, holding his hand.
Her smile was warm, her heart was cold,
As they climbed the hill like stories of old.
The well stood waiting in the moonlight,
Jack felt uneasy but stayed by her side.
His lies hung heavy in the air,
But Jill's eyes showed no care.
Still, they climbed the hill for the water well,
Where judgment soon would swell.
At the top, Jill's voice was calm,
"I know the truth, there's no need for charm."
Jack's eyes widened, his words fell weak,
As Jill stood tall, with no need to speak.
The well was deep, the night was cold,
Jill's heart turned stone, her touch grew bold.
A final push, into the black,
There was no turning back.
Now, she climbed the hill from the water well,
With secrets left to quell.
Jack's cries echoed, but they quickly died,
The water deep, there was nowhere to hide.
Jill stood still, with no remorse,
Her heart now empty, love lost its course.
She watched him sink into the dark,
His lies erased with no last spark.
The well, once shared, now sealed his fate,
Jill walked away, with no weight.
Now, she climbed the hill from the water well,
Alone, with no soul left to tell.
Jack went up the hill that night,
But it was Jill who came back down,
With a heart of ice and a wicked smile,
She wears the crown, she wears the crown.
