The Riddle

See the moon slink down in the sky, darling
 Let your fantasies fly, darling
 Life is cold, and the game is old
 Just see how virtue repays you
 You turn and someone betrays you
 Betray him first
 And the game's reversed!
 For we all are caught in the middle
 Of one long treacherous riddle
 Can I trust you? Should you trust me too?
 We shamble on through this hell
 Taking on more secrets to sell
 Till there comes a day when we sell our souls away!
 Through the mist your lover is beckoning
 Comes that moment of reckoning
 Faces change, even smiles grow strange
 And we all have so many faces
 The real self often erases
 Enticing lies flicker through our eyes
 Feel the terror draw ever nearer
 The more you stare in the mirror
 But hold your own
 Face the wind alone
 Reel on, love! Toughen your scars
 Year by year we're falling like stars
 Till there comes a day when we well our souls away!
 Can I run to you? Are you true to me?
 I'll do unto you as you do to me!
 And we slowly learn someone has to burn
 Better you than me!
 Oh, every Judas once loved a Jesus
 But finally treason will seize us
 And only fools follow golden rules
 We all are caught in the middle
 Of one long treacherous riddle
 Of who trusts who, maybe I'll trust you
 But can you trust me?
 Wait and see!
