El Engaño

Who was the stranger
That came to find me early in the morning
With a gift
Wrapped in flattery hiding a dagger

I've read it in his eyes
My enemy is just like me
Although he could never suspect it

What was the deception
A voice dripping with poison when speaking
Behind the smile
A slander left to chance

To his empty questions I respond
With the same pettiness
I know what he wants and I handle his weapons

No, it's not a threat
I know, full of arrogance!
My enemy is just like me

To his absurd questions I respond
With the same falsehood
I play along without giving it importance

My enemy is just like me

What was the deception
Who was that stranger
My enemy is just like me
