Thick As Thieves Lyrics - Danse Macabre

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
