The Adversary

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] I am the adversary I am the adversary I am the adversary I am your foe I go where you go [Verse 2] Between ideals and fact Between the thought and the act You would 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? [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] I am the adversary I am the adversary I am the adversary I am your foe I go where you go [Bridge] You will see me behind every door You need not look for me in her at all To her I'm just an unknown To her I am unknown On your shoulder her hand lightly rests As she lets fall her soft summer dress Without self-consciousness, self-loathing or conceit Without intention to triumph, submit or defeat She moves in her own chosen way My invisible hands are not at play To her I'm just an unknown To her I am unknown From the cold snow into the warm home To her I'm just an unknown To her I am unknown [Outro] (Run from me, run from me, run from me) (Run from me, run from me, run from me) I am your foe (Run from me) I go where you go (Run from me, run from me) I am your foe (Run from me) I go where you go (Run from me, run from me) I am your foe (Run from me) I go where you go (Run from me, run from me) I am your foe (Run from me) I go where you go (Run from me, run from me) I am your foe (Run from me) I go where you go (Run from me, run from me) I am your foe (Run from me)
