Lyrics
Thief
Deep in shadows
The thief awaits
Who will he choose
Some-times early
Sometimes late
But not refused
There’s no hiding
No escape
He comes for you
He steals it all
Your mind is raped
There’s no undo
You won’t matter
The thief won’t feel
Monstrous monster
Because he’s real
You close your eyes
He holds you near
You don’t recognize
Who you are, my dear
Climbs the wall
Across the roof
To your upstairs
Slow and surely
He will take
All you have there
Leaves you nothing
Hides your name
Steals ev’ry dream
See the mirror
Not the image
So strange it seems
You won’t matter
The thief won’t feel
Monstrous monster
Because he’s real
You close your eyes
He holds you near
You don’t recognize
Who you are, my dear
Where’d my friends go
Why’re they hiding
And they’re not there
I see them standing
See their faces
And they’re not there
Are there souls
In that place
Are they aware
Or is it empty
Like lonely space
No more aware
You won’t matter
The thief won’t feel
Monstrous monster
Because he’s real
You close your eyes
He holds you near
You don’t recognize
Who you are, my dear
