Traitor's Throne by Griefgod
The single captures themes of self-betrayal and indulgence, serving as a cautionary tale about upholding one’s principles and beliefs.
It describes the inability to resist destructive, temporary pleasures that conflict with one’s moral values—whether it’s substance abuse, harmful behavior, or actions that go against deeply held convictions.
The song's inspiration draws from personal experiences and Fyodor Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment, specifically the quote, “Your worst sin is that you have destroyed and betrayed yourself for nothing.”

Lyrics
In bile, rests the king,
Dissolving in indulgence,
Betrayed by himself
In a body of a pig.
Deluded, by temptations,
Rejects the fading hope,
Empowered by self loving,
Rots away the peace at home.
Warps their gaze from love to scorn.
It walks, the halls by the traitors throne
Its growths, they seep into the walls of shame
It walks, the halls by the traitors throne
Despair, it feeds upon the fool at blame
It walks, the halls by the traitors throne
The chains that sing of a dying soul.
Now rot in your temptations, all this was your own choice
The guilt is everlasting, it won't be gone by force,
The body is no longer, the body of a king
By now we all accepted, a body of a pig
