The Thief in the Night |
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 Im exposed, |
«i hear it move swiftly"underneath the nose |
Till one day youre face to face youre gonna cross the line |
Youre lost for time |
Life lose diminished |
Heart beat finished replenish |
Now you can be one with the light |
But when it comes itll come like a thief in the night |
Hook: |
So hollow the ground and dont put up a fight |
Cause when it comes itll come like a thief in the night |
Yeah, obey the laws and do everything right |
But when it comes itll 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 |
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 its hazzardest |
As it is said |
Be defensive at all time for instance |
As soon as Im 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 Im caged |
Such lawlessness involved in this charade |
Tainted face painted black |
«is that the end momma? |
cant 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 |
Overly anxious cant just wait |
To see when death is gonna pull you to your fate |
Its inevitable theres no escape |
Theres no mistake |
Every time a life is given its another one you have to take |
Then your electricity and and your energys released |
Born into another soul after your physicals 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 youre having fun |
Itll 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 its all a blur |
Hook |
Outro: |
Ladies and gentlemen todays subject is death |
The way I look at it its three basic elements right? |
Die, dying, dead right? |
die, dying, dead. |
death becomes you says the crow to The cheetah because youre an old cat. |

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. youll just be a few |
More steps behind me, and behind you may I remind you so is everything thats |
True and living, thats 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.» |
