Lyrics
I will never defend the man, who will make amends with any enemy's friends
I will never pretend
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
(Starry, starry night) looking down between the trees at 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 I held inside
So, I let them go
Oh my god, oh my god, yes, oh my god
I will never defend the man who will make amends with any enemy's friends
I will never pretend
I will never bow down to another man, even when everyone's sayin' I've sinned
I will never repent
Woah-oh, woah
Woah-oh, woah-oh-oh
They will not protect us (we will fall)
They will not defend us
We'll be left behind, we'll be left behind
I never gave a damn about the story's end or even how it all began
And the one word that I 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 man who will make amends with any enemy's friends
I will never pretend
I will never bow down to another man even when everyone is sayin' I've sinned
I will never repent
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
(Starry, starry night) no one had to speak a word for we all knew what the others learned
And everything that we ever did was but 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 moment 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 man who will make amends with any enemy's friends
I will never pretend
I will never bow down to another man even when everyone's sayin' I've sinned
I will never repent
