Letra de musica The Hands That Thieve en Streetlight Manifesto

The Hands That Thieve
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
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
Their 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 die
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 I don’t care if I lose
Because my heroes did too
Their 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

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

You said "don’t look back"
(No, no, no, no)

(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)
