Three Pretenders Forced Their Entry
There Wasn't Time To Defend Or Attack
Somewhere Inside I Held Their Fury
But One By One My Defenses Began To Crack

The First Became A Voice From My Childhood
Without A World To Call His Own
Asking Questions But Doubting The Answers
And Too Confused To Stand Up And Face It Alone

I Can Feel My Body Tremble
Like An Animal Under The Gun
Can You Feel Your Body Tremble
Look In And See The Eyes Of Three Pretenders

The Second Came A Shadowy Hustler
Selling Anything Not Nailed To The Ground
He Put A Price On My Resistance
And If It's High, I Know He'll Be Marking It Down

The Third Became A Mysterious Traveller
Stormy Words Like Sea-weathered Sails
His Life Was Scarred With Peaks And Valleys
A Haunted Kingdom Crumbling Against The Gales

I Can Feel My Body Tremble
Like A Child Afraid Of The Dark
Can You Feel Your Body Tremble
Look In And See The Eyes Of Three Pretenders
