Treason

Maanam · Maanam 83/85 [1985]

Treason treason

Cunning cold calculating

Treason treason

Darkly waiting infiltrating



Each kiss contains its own betrayal

Scratch me with your painted nail

Sorrow slowly turns to dread

Treason sneaks into your bed



Treason treason treason

The dead black eyes of the adder

Treason treason treason



Don't look for help, you're on your own

Your lover loves another and won't come home

Broken promisses broken light

White is black, black is white



Steady rhythm, even beat

Don't talk back, turn the other cheek

Keep it straight, keep it fair

Talk out of line, if you dare



Who can tell who is the traitor?

Who is the lover? Who is the hater?

Don't make me look, I don't want to see

Is everyone a traitor or is it just me?



Each kiss contains its own betrayal

Scratch me with your painted nail

Sorrow slowly turns to dread

Treason sneaks into your bed
