Stabbed in the Back

Liner Notes

A song about betrayal

Lyrics

In the light of day, we stood as one
Shared our secrets, thought the battle won
But as shadows grew, the truth unfurled
A hidden blade in your trusted world

Signs were there, but I was blind
Loyalty and betrayal intertwined

Stabbed in the back, a friend turned foe
Trust lies bleeding, how could I know?
In the game of life, a cruel attack
Never saw it coming - stabbed in the back

Whispered lies in corridors of power
Smiling faces in my darkest hour
Promises made were promises broken
Now I'm left with words unspoken

Signs were there, but I was blind
Loyalty and betrayal intertwined

Stabbed in the back, a friend turned foe
Trust lies bleeding, how could I know?
In the game of life, a cruel attack
Never saw it coming - stabbed in the back

In the chess game of deceit
Every move a potential defeat
Who can you trust when the stakes are high?
When every alliance might be a lie?

Stabbed in the back, a friend turned foe
Trust lies bleeding, now I know
In the game of life, a cruel attack
Lesson learned - watch your back

The knife may twist, the wound may heal
But the scar remains, forever real
In the shadows, always aware
Of the hidden dangers lurking there

Love that slow build up to the vocals coming in. The lyrics are dark and moody sprinkled with the elements of betrayal and deceit. I heard shades of YES in this arrangement and singing...and that is a good thing. another top shelf song!
