Lyrics of The Hands That Thieve by Streetlight Manifesto
verse
Well I felt no guilt 'til 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, though maybe it was something else
Frustration at the fact that I was ever caught at all
verse
I told a lie that multiplied it by the time I realized it
I'd given up everything I ever loved. (Yeah, yeah)
'Cause the thing you lack when you're looking back
Is the pressure to feel that you have to act
chorus
Yeah, everything is clearer when you're looking at the past, oh no
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
verse
So what's the point pretending when we've seen behind the curtain and there's nothing much to see, oh yeah
I felt no pain 'til I was down 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
verse
Assuring that I won't forget, reminders of the battles that I've lost and that I've won
And I will fight 'til I have died, or all my enemies are allies
And even then I will sleep with an open eye. (Yeah, yeah)
'Cause the night is long, and our wills are strong and I know that the road I traveled on
chorus
It only seemed so dark because we've almost reached the dawn, oh no
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's a promise we will keep
verse
So what's the point pretending when we've seen behind the curtain and there's nothing much to see, oh yeah
And everyone will claim that they knew from the beginning
That what they did was wrong, but they still just went on sinning
The sudden rush of fear when realizing everything you know will fade away
It haunts you deep, but you won't wanna let it go
verse
Some day we'll lose the war, but 'til then we will dream of winning
I won't forget the things you said
When I was down and I was tired of it
verse
The words you spoke, they brought me home
When it was time to fight, we chose a side
But everyone knew that something didn't feel right
outro
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 sound
outro
You said, "Don't look back!"
(Oh! no!) (Oh! no!)
(Don't look back, don't look back, we've gone too far, we're too high off the ground)
(Bridges burned, lesson learned)
Don't look back!
(Oh! no!) (Oh! no!)
(Don't look back, don't look back, we've gone too far, we're too high off the ground)
(Bridges burned, lesson learned)
You said, "Don't look back!"
(Oh! no! Oh! no! Ohhhhh!)
(Don't look back, don't look back, we've gone too far, we're too high off the ground)
(Bridges burned, lesson learned)
Don't look back!
(Oh! no!) (Oh! no!)
(Don't look back, don't look back, we've gone too far, we're too high off the ground)
(Bridges burned, lesson learned)
