The Thief. The Liar. The 'Friend'.

You pattern yourself from them After all it's all allowed Apothecary of grace involved when they all wear the crown The blood is soon to boil In pain that all would pass Relieved by new king or queen Or plans to salvage the past We'll pass on a portion, of misery arranged Or find us a fortune; in the gallows of change Tell tales of yesterday. Or years gone away Safe from a testament, of our truth on parade Please release the hostage And please, avoid the bends When you rise too quick, a prisoner to this The thief, the liar, the friend In the shadow these elite their whispers weave their spell A kingdom built on promises That they were never to fulfill But the dawn will break the night With a light to guide the way A tapestry of destiny No matter what they say And with every step we take There'll be another try But strengthen your resolve And we'll overcome the lies Please release the hostage And please, avoid the bends When you rise too quick, a prisoner to this The thief, the liar, the friend And when the curtain falls On secrets they defend Remember the truth when you hear from the thief the thief, the liar, the friend Please release the hostage And please, avoid the bends When you rise too quick, a prisoner to this The thief, the liar, the friend
