The Hands That Thieve |
I felt no guilt till I was caught |
And I was told that I was guilty |
And even then I wasn’t really sure (yeah yeah) |
The thing I felt was guilt itself |
Or maybe it was something else |
Frustration at the fact that I was ever caught at all |
I told a lie I multiplied it |
By the time I realized it |
I’d given up everything I ever loved (yeah yeah) |
Cause the thing you left |
When you’re looking back |
Is the pressure the feel that you have to act |
Yeah everything is clearer when |
You’re looking at the past (oh no) |
And I don’t care if I lose |
Because my heroes did too |
They shouted court should be adjourned |
Because the jury are fools |
And the judge can’t decipher his left from his right |
Or his right from his wrong |
And we will bite the hand that thieves |
We will not turn the other cheek |
This is no threat |
It is a promise we will keep |
So what’s the point pretending |
When we sit behind the curtain |
And there’s nothing much to see |
Oh yeah |
I felt no pain till I was found |
And I was told that I was bleeding |
And even then I knew I wasn’t done (yeah yeah) |
Cause the wounds I get |
They will just collect |
Insuring that I won’t forget |
Reminders of the battles |
That I’ve lost and that I’ve won |
And I will fight until I have died |
Or until all my enemies are allies |
And even then I will sleep with an open eye (yeah yeah) |
Cause the night is long and our hooves are strong |
And I know the road we travel on |
It always seems so dark |
Because we’ve almost reached the dawn |
Oh no |
And everyone will claim |
That they knew from the beginning |
That what they did was wrong |
They still just went on sinning |
The sudden rush you feel |
When realizing everything you know |
Will fade away |
It haunts you deep |
But you won’t want to let it go |
Someday we’ll lose the war |
But till then we will dream of winning |
I won’t forget |
The things you said |
When I was down and I was tired of it |
The words you spoke |
They brought me hope |
When it was time to fight |
We chose a side |
But everyone knew that something didn’t feel right |
So we stood our ground |
And waited for a sign |
When it was time to fight |
We chose a side |
But everyone knew that something didn’t feel right |
So we stood our ground |
And waited for a sign |
You said don’t look back |
(No, no, no, no…) |
Don’t look back |
(Don't look back |
We won’t go back |
We’ve come too far |
We’re too high off the ground |
The wheels have turned |
The lessons learned) |
You said don’t look back |
Don’t look back |
