I The Mighty – The Frame I: Betrayal In The Watchtower lyrics
[Verse 1]
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...
[Pre-Chorus 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
No more home
Leaving all we know
[Verse 3]
I thought we were safe 'til 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
Sun, feel the sun
[Outro]
The sun, see the sun
The sun, feel the sun
The sun (We wait for a miracle once again)
See the sun (No, I won't let them take you from us)
The sun (We wait for a miracle once again)
Feel the sun (No, I won't let them take you from us)
Us, oh, my love
I won't let them take you from us
We wait for a miracle once again
I won't let them take you from us
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...
[Pre-Chorus 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]

The sun (We wait for a miracle once again)
Feel the sun (No, I won't let them take you from us)
Us, oh, my love
I won't let them take you from us
We wait for a miracle once again
I won't let them take you from us
