Winter's Call - Come Undone (Judas Cover)


Mirror shows a stranger’s face
Chasing praise, a hollow grace
Golden hands and silver lies
All reflected in your eyes

You build your throne on shifting sand
Every crown slips through your hand

It’s just vanity  the cost you pay
Pride and ego lead you astray
It’s just vanity  you can’t disguise
The shadow that’s behind your eyes


Smiles are masks, applause is fake
Every move a calculated stake
Whispers echo through the hall
Silent warnings you ignore them all

You reach for heights you cannot keep
Every promise buried deep

It’s just vanity  the cost you pay
Pride and ego lead you astray
It’s just vanity  you can’t disguise
The shadow that’s behind your eyes


Cold reflection, burning bright
Lost in glory, lost in night
Nothing lasts  it fades away
The mirror mocks what you portray


It’s just vanity  the cost you pay
Pride and ego lead you astray
It’s just vanity  can’t close your eyes
Forever haunted by your lies
It’s just vanity…
It’s just vanity…


IT’S JUST VANITY

“The Wrong Enemy” is a song about the painful realization that the battles we fight on the outside often come from wounds on the inside.
It explores how easily we misinterpret tones, gestures, or words — not because others meant harm, but because something unresolved within us reacts first.

The narrator reflects on years of blaming the world around him: other people, their voices, their intentions.
But every time the noise faded, the same familiar ache returned — proof that the real source was internal.

The song reveals a powerful shift:
the enemy wasn’t the other person.
It was the leftover echo of old beliefs, early defenses, and emotional patterns built long before adulthood.
Patterns designed to protect —
but now standing in the way.

The chorus opens wide with emotional clarity, admitting that the true conflict isn’t between him and the outside world, but between him and his own inherited reflexes.

The bridge speaks quietly but sharply:
he has slammed doors where no walls existed, fought battles that never belonged to him, reacted to ghosts from the past rather than to the present moment.

By the final chorus, the insight becomes resolve:
the pattern can be broken,
the fight can be faced consciously,
and the blame no longer needs to be placed outward.

“The Wrong Enemy” is a moment of honesty —
a song about turning inward, owning the truth, and releasing the weight of misdirected battles.
