A Lurking Thief Lyrics


The lament of one who preys on others

Cold emotionless lying to myself

I'm convinced what's yours is mine

All I gotta do is shake you down

I peer down the alleyway

Lurking and waiting for my prey

No mercy for anyone I ambush

Make a move and I strike and leave you dead

One walks by and I jump out

Give me what you have and I'll let you live

But to my surprise

They have a weapon sharper that mine

My heart is cold, my blood is cold

No use for honest gold

In silence, I wield the knife

Take what is due for your worthless life

I think maybe i've met my match

A struggle ensues and I'm cut bad

The overzealous defender leaves are opening

I plunge my dagger into this man

For the first time I relate to my prey

I'll grieve this one because he was my peer

I'll be ready next time I face an adversary

I mend my wounds he left a souvenir

My heart is cold, my blood is cold

No use for honest gold

In silence, I wield the knife

Take what is due for your worthless life
