Traitor is a 2008 American spy thriller film, based on an idea by Steve Martin who is also an executive producer. Written and directed by Jeffrey Nachmanoff, the film stars Don Cheadle and Guy Pearce in the lead roles.
Samir Horn (Don Cheadle) is an Arabic-speaking Sudanese-American and devout Muslim. His Sudanese Druze father was killed by a car bomb when he was a child. As an adult, Horn is first seen operating as an arms dealer. While negotiating a deal with Omar (Saïd Taghmaoui) in Yemen he is arrested and thrown into a Yemeni jail. Later, Samir and Omar become friends and when Omar's people arrange an escape, he takes Samir with them.
Joining the Islamic Brotherhood, Samir uses the skills he learned as a Special Forces Engineer Sergeant with the U.S. Army Special Forces to bomb the U.S. consulate in Nice, France. The group then devises a plot to place suicide bombers on 50 buses in the U.S. during Thanksgiving. Meanwhile, in London, the Islamic Brotherhood finds out Fareed is being targeted by the FBI and he escapes by a source in the FBI headquarters. It is revealed that Samir is working under deep cover for an intelligence contractor, Carter (Jeff Daniels), with the United States government against terrorism. The FBI agents pursuing him don't know this, and Carter is killed by Omar.
A poisoned knife behind my back
Innocent eyes - feigned respect
You swallowed all the years of trust
Now I spit at you in pure disgust
(Bridge1)
And now your final game
Your life is at the stake
No more lies - take the blame
We understood your fake
(Chorus)
Traitor
Hang him high
You gonna pay for all the lies
Traitor
Torture is my name
You gonna burn in endless pain
You bite the hand of those who feed
A bastard grown from evil seed
Purified by fire - in pain you gonna scream
As the flesh is burning up - your soul may redeem
(Bridge 2)
In the end the truth has won
Your life is at stake
Decapitated, betraying scum
We understood your fake
(Chorus)
(Solo)
(Bridge2)
Way down in your bones baby
It's written in blood
So light the candles
And beat on the drums
No matter what you try to sell me
They're never gonna give
Because the combat zone they're living on
Fuck, it ain't no way to live
Won't have to see you again
Bulldozer down your home
Won't have to see you disappearing
When you're gone
Kill, kill, kill - your way to glory
Down, down, down - a different story
You're outta your mind baby
You're outta mind
Should have you locked up
Until the end of time
No matter what you try to tell me
What you try to say
Had to abandon all your moral codes
'Cause they just get in the way
Who you are and who you know
Where you come from to where you go
Moments that take your breath away...
Got your Head
Back to fron
Lack of talent
Sell out cunt
Back-stabbing shammer
You took me by surprise
You fooled me twice
Blank-faced scammer
Choke on your lies
I phantasize
I realize...
I hate you
Traitor
Here's to friends
Allies in the game
You're all the same
Well laid plans
Toxin in my heart
Tear me apart
I hate you
Traitor
Scum, vassal, Trojan whore
You can't reach me anymore
Scum, vassal, Trojan whore
Hundred lashes!
-The battles are fought outside.
Count your blessings!
-The war is in the head.
Hundred lashes!
-Try to suffer less than learn.
Count your blessings!
-I try to be fair with both.
Hundred lashes!
-Walk proud to the pole.
Count your blessings!
-The seconds are really short.
Hundred lashes!
-Don't forget how to breathe.
Count your blessings!
-They'll carry you away.
I won't stand your cowering.
Your selfpity disgusts me.
And here you're just wallowing in you feces.
You're a traitor...to your species.
I want my secrets kept.
The hand's hard for the curious.
Iron grip, the whip flies furious!
I won't stand...
You're a traitor...to your species.
I want my secrets kept.
Way down in your bones baby

Traitor
I can't sleep.
Tonight I feel so hollow.
I've been at what I do best again.
And I'm so far from home.
Don't know what I've been looking for.
The streets are cold and they've got no soul.
The city's upside down.
I'm losing my way.
Am I the person I once knew myself to be?
I've traded my faith for a taste of destruction.
I can't seem to get away from this.
I am the traitor.
You will discover.
The trees have lost their color.
Is my head right?
Am I the traitor?
I'm afraid to see what's become of me.
Just let the water rise and cleanse the city into the
sea.
The city's upside down.
I'm losing my way.
Am I the person I once knew myself to be?
I've traded my faith for a taste of destruction.
I can't seem to get away from this.
We will wash away.
You woke up too late, but know what they thought
While you were waiting for the strangers that had gone
Somewhere to stay together apart,
Where everyone traded as they faded in the dark,
Caught in the lights they couldn't show through
And just beyond they'd always known you
Would give it away, even as dust,
Falling just out of frame, leaving everything untouched,
Held and returned.
Who did you cry to?
Was someone else too close to find?
You sold what you'd saved, woke where you'd lie
And said what they wouldn't say to the shadows in the night
Left in your place and still lashing out,
Coming to life to make you finally live it down.
O, watch that temper, now.
Is it worth it, wasted?
They've got enough trouble with petrol bombs
without some traitor stealing their arms
soldiers are paid to uphold the law
traitor you supply to opposition in the war
traitor did you do it for the pay
traitor it'll kill you someday
traitor you're paid to keep the law
traitor you're prolonging this war
traitor broke in at the dead of night
not knowing if what he's doing is wrong or right
he's a traitor in the IRA's pay
hope he doesn't live to see another day
whether you gave or whether they bought
the gun you stole is killing your sort
death and destruction is all around
You stand accused of treason, you offer no good reason
You are a bloody liar, yours is the stake the fire
You say you are innocent but you be caught and spent
And now you pay the price for avarice, your vice
Intrigue your sole desire, you sold your wife, your child
You sell your oldest friends, you sold your countrymen
And yet we know your name
Traitor, traitor
And now your face is shown and so your fate is known
We have discovered you, we have uncovered you
You say you were led astray, fall on your knees and pray
Pity is not for you, we'll make things hot for you
Our hearts we make to harden, for you there is no pardon
For you the spike awaits upon the traitors gate
And crows will eat your eyes
Traitor, traitor
Delight we find in you as we are binding you
You look in vain for friends, you only find revenge
We give you blood and steel, we break you on the wheel
The ones you hope to sell will send you straight to Hell
As we dismember you, we shall remember you
You are abomination, you that betray the nation
You shall take long to die
I feel I've been betrayed
A well thought truth woke
my sleeping doubts
So frail is your gracious
conspiracy
I'm merciful, I'm merciful
you'll suffer only for life
You will die - no hope
On your knees right now
I maniac your sadist
I'm ready for the
disgraceful cry
I maniac your sadist
Shine malice
Rise for the Morning Star
Traitor you traitor
From the depths we'll arise
I'll crown your
superior masterpiece
for betting all for your
undeniable might
I see omen fulfilled
and come true to you
I'm breaking all
I'm shaking all
I will honour only myself
I'll be dancing on your grave
For I'm immortal
everything is set for me
Do as you've planned in
your stone-cold head
Lay the truth before
your shattered dreams
I'm burning at stake and
I don't feel a thing
Can you feel the difference
you servant
No excuses this time it's really me
I won't neglect you my beloved
Behold the mighty star
Run and cover you've become
Someone
Someone
Who had my confidence
Someone
I knew from my birth
Kill you!
Nothing else I want
You're going to pay
The treason you made
Traitor
We were blood brothers
Traitor
I saved you from bad times
Traitor
you forgot your feelings
You took that foul money
You're gonna regret now!
Traitor
We were blood brothers
Traitor
I saved you from bad times
Traitor
you forgot your feelings
You took that foul money
You're gonna regret now!
Traitor
We were blood brothers
Traitor
I saved you from bad times
Traitor
My punctuality is well known
When the revolution takes place
I'll be late and I'll be shot
As a traitor
Oh, sun rises
When the sun rises I will not see
I regret nothing, it was worth it
Going through life without a timepiece
Did pay off
Sun rises, I will not see
My reward to be free and alone
Even now at the pillar, blindfold at sunrise
Hearing the drums of Catalan
Beating my time away
The sun rises, I will not, I will not see
My heartbeat keeps time with the drums
But soon my only pulse will fade away
Sun rises, I will not see
I smile just knowing
When the sun rises
The sun rises
I never understand why you put up your hand
And volunteered to play the company man
You wanna come back you wanna have a crack
But the train is gone - it's never coming back
You should have realized by the ominous skies
That destiny was dealing you a joker old guy
Next time don't come don't pursue that something
You should've known better that you can't come
Every little trend that comes round the bend
Carries you aloft and you're getting soft
Struggles and sports under halogen quartz
One eye on the meter, one eye in the mirror
Its all getting dearer, it's all getting clearer
Come in peace with a sheep to fleece
Lamb noisette (?) says she won't forget but
She'll never remember if she is dismembered
Traitor / Never understand / Feel so good / Feel so young
Should've realized by the ominous skies...
(Repeat ";Traitor"; and ";Should've realized..."; except for one line saying ";I feel like spring has sprung"; till end)
You left without a trace
Afraid to show your fucking face
You are a piece of shit...TRAITOR
Murdering is too good
For the fucking likes of you
Pain is what you deserve...TRAITOR
Revenge is what I want, I can't fucking wait
To finally track you down, protective custody
Is what you will need, to keep me from hurting you
Your day will come soon, with a terrifying speed
Your painful destiny...TRAITOR
I am coming to hunt you down
It's only a matter of time, until you are found
You left without a trace
Afraid to show your fucking face
You are a piece of shit...TRAITOR
Murdering is too good
For the fucking likes of you
Pain is what you deserve...TRAITOR
Revenge is what I want, I can't fucking wait
To finally track you down, protective custody
Is what you will need, to keep me from hurting you
Your day will come soon, with a terrifying speed
Way down in your bones baby
It's written in blood
So light the candles
And beat on the drums
No matter what you try to sell me
They're never gonna give
Because the combat zone they're living on
F***, it ain't no way to live
Won't have to see you again
Bulldozer down your home
Won't have to see you disappearing
When you're gone
Kill, kill, kill - your way to glory
Down, down, down - a different story
Kill, kill, kill - your way to glory
Down, down, down - a different story
You're outta your mind baby
You're outta your mind
Should have you locked up
Until the end of time
No matter what you try to tell me
What you try to say
Had to abandon all your moral codes
'Cause they just get in the way
Won't have to see you again
Bulldozer down your home
Won't have to see you disappearing

Down, down, down - a different story
Kill, kill, kill - your way to glory
Down, down, down - a different story
Kill, kill, kill - your way to glory
Down, down, down - a different story
Who you are and who you know
Where you come from to where you go
Who you are and who you know
Where you come from to where you go
Moments that take your breath away...
Got your head
Back to front
Lack of talent
A loyal comrade´s what you claimed to be, but now, you stand together with the enemy.
Always told us what we wanted to hear, for now the traitors end is near.
Your so called friendship, built on lies, you´re worse than the few, that I despise.
You looked a door and you threw away the key, the moment you turned your back at me.
Traitor, can you feel my hate? No time for regrets, for that it´s to late!
Traitor, can you hear our call? Traitor, your downfall!
For all these years, I was to blind to see, that your only goal was betraying me.
You´re the one who gave us the sack.
How did I feel when you stabbed our back?
You can run but you can never hide, now that you´ve turned to the other side.
It´s to late now for regrets, we will never forgive and surely never forget.
Traitor, can you feel my hate? No time for regrets, for that it´s to late!
Traitor, can you hear our call? Traitor, your downfall!

when you're with me you're my best friend
then when you leave you're a fucking hypocrite traitor
Instru
The rats start to scream, you are threatening their dream
They want peace and quiet, on their way to eternal night
You can't be your own, it will make the others moan
They plot and they scheme, they must kill every dream
All around looking for another reason
They must destroy someone, commited to a treason
Traitor
Goodnight to you, a bedtime story I tell it's true
Under the sun nothing's new, nothing's won
A philosophy, that holds no solutional key
Go to work and get payed, don't ask for more they say
A wageslave that's all you ever be
They steal your life and leave you in misery
Traitor
The world seems chaos and confusion
Someone gains on this illusion
Just one life, in love's name you had it
Still you dare refusing to live it
Strange reality, you work your life away
Killing yourself, just to pass another day
That's not how the world was meant to be
It's easy to see, still we don't, it's a pity
All around looking for another reason
All around you hear the nonsense reason
No wonder you feel sick inside
It hurts so much you have no place to hide
Come with me I got the key to your heart
Travel through time and space in my time warp
A storm blows up outside, it's coming, it's coming
The rats they hide inside, they're running, they're running
But we are not afraid, we know why, we know why
My punctuality is well known,
When the revolution takes place
I'll be shot as a traitor.
When the sun rises,
I will not see,
I regret nothing,
It was worth it,
Going through life without a timepiece did pay off.
My reward to be free and alone even now at the pillar,
Blindfold at sunrise,
Hearing the drums of catalan beating my time away,
My heartbeat keeps time with the drums.
But soon my only pulse will fade away,
I smile just knowing when the sun rises I will not see.
My mind was in it.
My heart was in it.
Then you went and did this.
But you said you didn’t.
I can’t help but feel it was all my fault.
But we both know that’s not true.
If you can’t take me at my worst then you don’t deserve my best.
They say some things are better left undone.
I’d have to agree.
So turn and run like you’ve never seen my face before.
You’ll never see it again.
They say some things are better left undone.
I’d have to agree.
So turn and run like you’ve never seen my face before.
You’ll never see it again.
I thought my heart would feel empty.
Where your love once was.
But now the void is only filled with hate.
For the love that there was between us.
Lifetime lived in the blink of an eye.
But this season seems to last forever.
This cold winter’s eating at my bones.
You left me for dead, left me for dead, left me for dead, left me for dead.
Now I’m leaving you... I can’t see your face...
You’re dead to me, you’re dead...
It’s time to forgive and forget but I’m still holding onto all this hate.
They say some things are better left undone.
I’d have to agree.
So turn and run like you’ve never seen my face before.
You’ll never see it again.
They say some things are better left undone.

Your love is dead... I can’t see your face.
You’re dead to me.
