Among Thieves

To be a hero of the night A wild child dear fool that's out of line Throughout the mist we're seeking Army of thieves believing Dig up the diamonds, drown in your silence Every breath you take is another man's dying word The sandman's reaper will come and steal you from this earth You're not the one with the gun, show them what you've become Standing alone, you crossed the line Pay to defy your good judge, still holding the knife to your throat Boil up the kettle of tears and rock the boat with no resolve A crash on the shore And the cops at your door will wake you up (We are the thieves of our time) With fire in your heart Time tears us apart, I bleed my love (And fight the clockwork till life moves on) So paint a price on your wine Never die making love and giving lies Hanging out of balance on debt row Lusting for its chalice, a winged crow Lift up the white flag, bow down and walk the plank Every step you take is another man's funeral The hangman's pestilence will steal you from those you love Even if we're living among thieves Even if we're living like thieves Even if we're living among thieves Even if we're living like thieves Vengeance for what they had chosen Stealing the blood from pumped hearts A penance for ousting the coven Consuming glass sands with the shards Like sharks Living among thieves Chasing wealth and dreams Living among thieves Rule the seven seas Living among thieves A crash on the shore And the cops at your door will wake you up (We are the thieves of our time) With fire in your heart Time tears us apart, I bleed my love (And fight the clockwork till life moves on) Even if we're lost Even if we're gone Even if we're done Even if we're living like thieves A crash on the shore And the cops at your door will wake you up (We are the thieves of our time)
