Lied - Snow Ghosts

You fend off the armies with your wooden sword

Standing with your demons by your side

Tearing at the splinters that I left behind

To fight the endless battle with your pride

And though you threaten often to fall on your blade

And I hear you crying wolf along the tide

I watch you walk unscathed through the poppy fields

And I wonder just how many times you’ve lied, lied

I see you through the clearing mist with reddened eyes

You’re bleeding from the sever at your side

I turn myself away from you so suddenly

But none of this would heal if we tried

And as the Sun is rising on another day

I see you raise your banner to the sky

The hands that held so tightly start to slip away

And I wonder just how many times you’ve lied, lied
