Danse Macabre

Danse Macabre - Thick As Thieves lyrics

We promised to make a difference,

you and I

Both still young, feeling smart

Now in the light of this shaded lamp

I can almost see your smile

Dreamt of travelling land and sea

And thus we did, my friend,

you and me

Thick as thieves we were

Thick as thieves we were

Oh, and time was at our side

Well, at least so we believed

One day our nations prepared for a fight

And you and I had to join opposite sides

Never we shall behold the green fields

Or hear the birds sing in May

Our youth, our old day sacrificed

And with our lives we did pay

Dreamt of travelling land and sea

And thus we did, my friend,

you and me

Thick as thieves we were

Thick as thieves we were

Dreams shattered in filthy trenches

Our lungs filled with musterd gas

Beneath the grey skies,

in the fields of Flanders

Dreams shattered in filthy trenches

Our lungs filled with musterd gas

A torn cross bearing your name

in the grass

Oh, and time was at our side

Well at least so we believed

One day our nations prepaired for a fight

Oh, and time was at our side

Well at least so we believed

And you and I had to join opposite sides

Thick as thieves we were
