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 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."
