From the onset of "Betrayed," it’s obvious CE isn’t shy about paying homage to its influences. The unique sound of the riff (a sly cocktail of Iron Maiden, Borknagar, and Crematory) assaults listeners from every high-wattage audio channel.

Lyrics
As I sit here and wonder, where could I have gone wrong?
Was it something I said, or something I have done?
What could have been the reason to deserve all this hate?
What could have been the reason to have put you in this state?
These are some of the questions that I ask.
The answers you keep secret from me.
When did you decide to turn you back?
And take the knife and stab me when I could not see.
Betrayed, Betrayed
You took advantage of all my trust.
Betrayed, Betrayed
Only to use it for your own lust.
Betrayed, Betrayed
I was blind I could not see.
Betrayed, Betrayed
The one thing in my life, and you took it from me...
Spreading your disease of lies and treachery.
Making all believe you in hopes of hurting me.
I won't let you do this you have no fucking right.
I can't let you do this I've got to stand and fight.
I've got to take this knife from my back.
Expose you for what you really are.
A good defense is sometimes the best attack.
Need to do anything to erase this scar (that ever remains)...
You were my friend
I've been betrayed
What has happened
Vie been betrayed
Nothing to portend
I've been betrayed
Hard to comprehend
I've been betrayed
I don't need this
I've been betrayed
Nothing exists
I've been betrayed Friendship dismissed
I've been betrayed
Never to reminisce
I've been betrayed
Betrayed, Betrayed
You took advantage of all my trust.
Betrayed, Betrayed
Only to use it for your own lust.
Betrayed, Betrayed
I was blind I could not see.
Betrayed, Betrayed
The one thing in my life, and you took it from me...
