| I will never defend the men who 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
 | 
| (That Starry, starry night)
 | 
| Looking down between the trees
 | 
| And the town we knew we had to leave
 | 
| For what it’s worth
 | 
| We will walk the Earth until we find the things we seek
 | 
| And the king said
 | 
| I believe that 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 men who make amends with any enemy’s friends
 | 
| I will never pretend
 | 
| I will never bow down to another man even when everyone’s saying I’ve sinned
 | 
| I will never repent
 | 
| Whoa, whoa
 | 
| Whoa, whoa, whoa
 | 
| They will not protect us
 | 
| (We will fall)
 | 
| They will not defend us
 | 
| We’ll be left behind, we’ll be left behind
 | 
| And I never give a damn about the story’s end
 | 
| Or even how it all began
 | 
| And the one word that I’ll 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 men who 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
 | 
| 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
 | 
| (That starry night)
 | 
| No one had to speak a word
 | 
| For we all knew what the others learned:
 | 
| That everything that we ever did
 | 
| Was but a way to pass the time
 | 
| And The Priest said:
 | 
| I believe that I’m a true believer now
 | 
| I was a sinner, but I came to see the light
 | 
| The bum and me did not agree, but I must confess some jealousy
 | 
| Oh my god, oh my god, yes, oh my god
 | 
| I will never defend the men who 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 |
