Thomas the Rhymer (Part 1) Lyrics by The Forgetmenauts

Be Nimble, Be Quick

0

[Verse 1]
When I was younger, I could tell you
Any lie you’d want to hear
Like whiskey is harmless, sleep is useless
And you’re my only love, my dear
My voice could charm you into bed, girl
And out again before the dawn
You’d give me your trust and your devotion
And in the morning, I’d be gone
[Chorus]
But lies are hollow, and truth is heavy
It weighs me down like a stone
Truth now cuts me to the bone
[Verse 2]
All of that changed when I first saw her
And kissed her in that sunny glen
She held out her hand and called me onwards
Beyond the realms of mortal men
Three paths, she showed me on the hillside
To Heaven, Hell, and Faerie they led
The first was in brambles, the second hellfire
The third across a river red
[Chorus]
But thorns they cut you, and flames they bite you
The road to Heaven is steep
Gave my lying tongue to Faerie to keep
[Instrumental]
[Bridge]
Blood on my hands, blood on my hands!
God, what have I done?
I wade across this river of war
And I can’t go back, I can’t go back
For seven years I must stay
Speak no longer, truth now holds me here
