Lyrics Thief and a Liar - Mikko Joensuu

Thief and a Liar

Today just might be the end of an era
Hope the next one will be blessed
With some days that are much fairer
It’s a different song for the ones that are allowed different tone
For the ones that are deceased
And this road leads to the ruins of the city I was born
Where God don’t exist and all hope is forlorn
Well I got so very blind here to see
But I don’t mind as long as I feel free
And you may call me a thief and a liar
My redemption is cast in the depths of the fire
I guess I’ve been burned over a thousand times before
And I keep burning up a thousand times more
I got Devil on my right side, got Devil on my left
And God himself protect me from the leeches on my neck
For the sins are my own, I’m bound to be alone
And like most, I’m a sinner to the bone
And I waited for an absolution but it never came
Got way too many sins within the blood inside my veins
Evergreen grass wasn’t green enough for me
But I don’t mind as long as I feel free
And you may call me a thief and a liar
My redemption is cast in the depths of the fire
I guess I’ve been burned over a thousand times before
And I keep burning up a thousand times more
Well I guess I’m just a lucky man, my soul will never drown
Searching from the endless sea until the glory’s found
Now I’m sinking with stones around my neck
And down here, you only get what you can get
And you may call me a thief and a liar
My redemption is cast in the depths of the fire
I guess I’ve been burned over a thousand times before
And I keep burning up a thousand times more
And I waited for an absolution but it never came
Got way too many sins within the blood inside my veins
Evergreen grass wasn’t green enough for me
But I don’t mind
No, I don’t mind
No, I don’t mind
As long as I feel free
