Thief and a Liar - Mikko Joensuu

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
