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
Frustration 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)



[Chorus:]

And I don't care if I lose

Because my heroes did too

They 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 died

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



[Chorus]



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



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

(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)



You said don't look back

Don't look back
