He betrayed me.
In doing so, he betrayed his friends too.
My freedom was short lived, and now Im shackled in this prison once more.
Waiting to be saved was the reason I held on, but as the weeks pass, I know Im on my own.
Broken and bleeding, my hurt turns to anger.

New allies give me hope, and for once, I dont have to run.
My peace doesnt last long though when the Night Thieves hunt me down.
I try to keep my walls up around them but its hard when they were deceived too.
Ill never let him into my heart, the villain in my story.
No matter how much he begs.

Caught in a web of lies and fake friendships, time is running out.
Enemies become friends, and friends become enemies.
When bullets fly and lives are at stake, we have no choice but to work together.
Its time to show the world that we really are as thick as thieves.
