The Adversary - Crime/the City

You see me in a foreign face

In ships that sink without trace

In your father's doubt

Will he praise or shout

Behind the burning cross

Begrudged imagined loss

When you run to me run to me run to me

You try to fly but you cannot fly

You try to hide but i'm by your side

You run from me run from me run from me

I am the adversary

I am the adversary

I am the adversary

I am your foe

I go where you go

Between ideals and fact

Between the thought and the act

You sink without trace

Grow to hate your face

Will you sell all you own

To sit in a shadow by a throne

Will you run to me run to me run to me

You try to fly but you cannot fly

You try to hide but i'm by your side

You try to run from me run from me run from me

I am the adversary

I am the adversary

I am the adversary

I am your foe

I go where you go

You will see me behind every door

You need not look for me at all

To her i'm just another

To her i am unknown

On your shoulder her hands lightly rest

As she let's fall her soft summer dress

Without self conciousness of floating off in sleep

Without intention triumphs admid all defeat

She moves in her own sheltered way

My invisible hands are not at play

To her i'm just another

To her i am unknown

From the cold snow into the water

To her i'm just another

To her i am unknown

Run from me run from me run from me

Run from me run from me run from me

I am your foe

I go where you go

I am your foe

I go where you go

I am your foe

I go where you go

I am your foe

I go where you go

I am your foe

I go where you go
