The Frame I: Betrayal in the Watchtower

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 till 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 The sun Feel the sun So we wait for a miracle once again! I won't let them take you from us!
