Lied

[Verse 1] You fend off the armies with your wooden sword Standing with your demons by your side Tearing at the splinters that I left behind To fight the endless battle with your pride [Chorus 1] And though you threaten often to fall on your blade And I hear you crying wolf along the tide I watch you walk unscathed through the poppy fields And I wonder just how many times you've lied, lied [Verse 2] I see you through the clearing mist with reddened eyes You're bleeding from the sever at your side I turn myself away from you so suddenly But none of this would heal if we tried [Chorus 2] And as the Sun is rising on another day I see you raise your banner to the sky The hands that held so tightly start to slip away And I wonder just how many times you've lied, lied
