The Frame I: Betrayal in the Watchtower - I The Mighty

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
