I the Mighty - The Frame I: Betrayal in the Watchtower lyrics
[I the Mighty - The Frame I: Betrayal in the Watchtower lyrics]
We'd meet with no light in
The blanket of night
We'd talk of the Keepers, our hatred was high
I will always remember the way
He was acting that night
We hashed out a plan that
Was tactful and slow
We'd overthrow them before they would know
Still he had his agenda and chose
Me to star in his show so it goes
We gathered in the early morning sun
To watch the weekly hanging
Whose life ran out of luck?
A friend of ours whose motives fit the bill
For their age old ideals
It's a fear game, no
The narrative never improves
You fuck with us, you lose
Run, run for your life
Jig is up and we're running out of time
If we make it through night
I will never let you go
Such is the price you will pay if
You trust the man in white
But mark my words
He'll find the wrong end of my knife
Inside the watchtower we stood
When he shot our confidant
Then pushed him off the roof
He threw the gun down at my feet
And just as they came for me
He smiled from cheek to cheek
Run, run for your life
Jig is up and we're running out of time
If we make it through night
I will never let you go
Oh, such is the price you will pay
If you trust the man in white
But mark my words
He'll find the wrong end of my knife
No more home leaving all we know
I thought we were safe 'til
I looked at her hands
The small of her back, the blood hit the sand
I will always remember the calm in
Her voice as she said:
"You must go this alone i won't make it
My love my heart will grow tired
My legs will grow numb"
And I knew it was true
But I promised her she'd see the sun
The sun, see the sun sun, feel the sun
The sun, see the sun the sun, feel the sun
The sun (We wait for a miracle once again)
See the sun
(No, I won't let them take you from us)
The sun (We wait for a miracle once again)
Feel the sun
(No, I won't let them take you from us)
Us, oh, my love
I won't let them take you from us
We wait for a miracle once again
I won't let them take you from us
The blanket of night
We'd talk of the Keepers, our hatred was high
I will always remember the way
He was acting that night
We hashed out a plan that
Was tactful and slow
We'd overthrow them before they would know
Still he had his agenda and chose
Me to star in his show so it goes
We gathered in the early morning sun
To watch the weekly hanging
Whose life ran out of luck?
A friend of ours whose motives fit the bill
For their age old ideals
It's a fear game, no
The narrative never improves
You fuck with us, you lose
Run, run for your life
Jig is up and we're running out of time
If we make it through night
I will never let you go
Such is the price you will pay if
You trust the man in white
But mark my words
He'll find the wrong end of my knife
Inside the watchtower we stood
When he shot our confidant
Then pushed him off the roof
He threw the gun down at my feet
And just as they came for me
He smiled from cheek to cheek
Run, run for your life
Jig is up and we're running out of time
If we make it through night
I will never let you go
Oh, such is the price you will pay
If you trust the man in white
But mark my words
He'll find the wrong end of my knife
No more home leaving all we know

And I knew it was true
But I promised her she'd see the sun
The sun, see the sun sun, feel the sun
The sun, see the sun the sun, feel the sun
The sun (We wait for a miracle once again)
See the sun
(No, I won't let them take you from us)
The sun (We wait for a miracle once again)
Feel the sun
(No, I won't let them take you from us)
Us, oh, my love
I won't let them take you from us
We wait for a miracle once again
I won't let them take you from us
