The Thief in the Night

歌詞

As I awaken Born from the slums and taken Through the ritual, childhood, puberty, adulthood, maturity And mastery of me And my surroundings counting down the days till I'm exposed, "i hear it move swiftly" underneath the nose Till one day you're face to face you're gonna cross the line You're lost for time Life lose diminished Heart beat finished replenish Now you can be one with the light But when it comes it'll come like a thief in the night Hook: So hollow the ground and don't put up a fight Cause when it comes it'll come like a thief in the night Yeah, obey the laws and do everything right But when it comes it'll come like a thief in the night For real we take 'em away They take 'em away We take 'em away They take 'em away We take 'em away Verse 2: I hear the sound of the rain trickling down my window pane It stains the seal to let me know life is real Sustain and build and and maintain a force field I use it in a time of need when it's hazzardest As it is said Be defensive at all time for instance As soon as I'm elevated out of existence I am no more I can soar Right on the back of an eagle Or look eye to eye with a beetle But now I am engaged In none other than the physical form in which I'm caged Such lawlessness involved in this charade Tainted face painted black "is that the end momma? can't I come back? " No your train stops here Right where the rain drops appear Next stop inbetween the ears Objection to make you cirular Work you just enough so you can work yourself Hook Verse 3: Overly anxious can't just wait To see when death is gonna pull you to your fate It's inevitable there's no escape There's no mistake Every time a life is given it's another one you have to take Then your electricity and and your energy's released Born into another soul after your physical's deceased May you forever rest in peace Although your current is concurrent there is no deturrent You will cease to be no more The war has been won The warrior is rested and your duty here is done Just when you think you're having fun It'll snatch you up and run For a second you appreciate the sun For a half a second you appreciate the stars For a half a second you reflect on who you are And what you where And in a flash it's all a blur Hook Outro: Ladies and gentlemen today's subject is death The way I look at it it's three basic elements right? Die, dying, dead right? die, dying, dead. death becomes you says the crow to The cheetah because you're an old cat. see you seem a little under the Weather, while me, my wings are as strong as ever, he says. "well that may be so" the cheetah says to the crow, but you know where to Find me, because everybody gets their time card pulled. you'll just be a few More steps behind me, and behind you may I remind you so is everything that's True and living, that's life driven is given a final shock boy. frankly Speaking, everything in here is on the clock boy. every atom, organism, Insect, animal, man is gonna die, dying, dead. "death becomes you," says the Armadillo to the crow, "oh you oh you are gonna die."
