There we were, the three of us
The thief, the king and I
Finally, we were forced to see
We were equals in the night
Looking down between the trees
And the town we knew we had to leave
For what it’s worth
We will walk the earth ’til we find the things we seek
And the king said
I believe I’m a non-believer now
I was a leader, but I had to leave them all
No one will ever know the things you hide inside
So let them go
Oh my god, oh my god, yes, oh my god
I will never defend the men who make amends with any enemy’s friends
I will never pretend that I believe in anything
I will never bow down to another man even when everyone’s sayin’ I’ve sinned
I will never repent unless there’s evidence, unless there’s evidence
Hmmmm hmmmm
Hmmmm hmmmm
They will not protect you (we will fall)
They will not defend you
You’ll be left behind, you’ll be left behind
We will not forget this (we will not)
Someday they’ll regret this
I’ll be by your side
I’ll be by your side
And I never gave a damn about the story’s end
Or even how it all began
And the one word that I’ll seek is one that I can tell myself
And it’s a long and winding road
But if you reap the seeds you sow
You’ll see you’re really not alone
I will never defend the men who make amends with any enemy’s friends
I will never pretend that I believe in anything
I will never bow down to another man even when everyone’s sayin’ I’ve sinned
I will never repent unless there’s evidence, unless there’s evidence
Hmmmm hmmmm
Hmmmm hmmmm
There we were, the three of us
The priest, the tramp, and I
Years ago, we had left to roam
But reunited on that night
No one had to speak a word
For we all knew what the other learned
And everything that we ever did
Was a way to pass the time
And the priest said
I believe I’m a true believer now
I was a sinner, but I came to see the light
The bum and me did not agree, but I must confess of jealousy
Oh my god, oh my god, yes, oh my god
I will never defend the men who make amends with any enemy’s friends
I will never pretend that I believe in anything
I will never bow down to another man even when everyone’s sayin’ I’ve sinned
I will never repent unless there’s evide-e-ence
I will never defend the men who make amends with any enemy’s friends
I will never pretend
