The Thief

As I awaken <br>Born from the slums and taken <br>Through the ritual, childhood, puberty, adulthood, maturity <br>And mastery of me <br>And my surroundings counting down the days till I`m exposed, <br>"I hear it move swiftly" underneath the nose <br>Till one day you`re face to face you`re gonna cross the line <br>You`re lost for time <br>Life lose diminished <br>Heart beat finished replenish <br>Now you can be one with the light <br>But when it comes it`ll come like a thief in the night<br><br>Hook:<br>So hollow the ground and don`t put up a fight <br>Cause when it comes it`ll come like a thief in the night<br>Yeah, obey the laws and do everything right<br>But when it comes it`ll come like a thief in the night<br>For real we take `em away<br>They take `em away<br>We take `em away<br>They take `em away<br>We take `em away<br><br>Verse 2:<br>I hear the sound of the rain trickling down my window pane<br>It stains the seal to let me know life is real<br>Sustain and build and and maintain a force field<br>I use it in a time of need when it`s hazzardest<br>As it is said <br>Be defensive at all time for instance<br>As soon as I`m elevated out of existence<br>I am no more<br>I can soar <br>Right on the back of an eagle<br>Or look eye to eye with a beetle<br>But now I am engaged <br>In none other than the physical form in which I`m caged<br>Such lawlessness involved in this charade<br>Tainted face painted black <br>"Is that the end momma? Can`t I come back?"<br>No your train stops here<br>Right where the rain drops appear <br>Next stop inbetween the ears<br>Objection to make you cirular<br>Work you just enough so you can work yourself <br><br>Hook<br><br>Verse 3:<br>Overly anxious can`t just wait<br>To see when death is gonna pull you to your fate<br>It`s inevitable there`s no escape<br>There`s no mistake <br>Every time a life is given it`s another one you have to take<br>Then your electricity and and your energy`s released<br>Born into another soul after your physical`s deceased<br>May you forever rest in peace<br>Although your current is concurrent there is no deturrent <br>You will cease to be no more<br>The war has been won<br>The warrior is rested and your duty here is done<br>Just when you think you`re having fun<br>It`ll snatch you up and run<br>For a second you appreciate the sun<br>For a half a second you appreciate the stars<br>For a half a second you reflect on who you are <br>And what you where <br>And in a flash it`s all a blur<br><br>Hook<br><br>Outro:<br>Ladies and gentlemen today`s subject is death<br>The way I look at it it`s three basic elements right? <br>Die, dying, dead right? Die, dying, dead. Death becomes you says the crow to <br>the cheetah because you`re an old cat. See you seem a little under the <br>weather, while me, my wings are as strong as ever, he says.<br>"Well that may be so" the cheetah says to the crow, but you know where to <br>find me, because everybody gets their time card pulled. You`ll just be a few <br>more steps behind me, and behind you may I remind you so is everything that`s <br>true and living, that`s life driven is given a final shock boy. Frankly <br>speaking, everything in here is on the clock boy. Every atom, organism, <br>insect, animal, man is gonna die, dying, dead. "Death becomes you," says the <br>armadillo to the crow, "Oh you oh you are gonna die."
