Like Thieves Lyrics

Why must I always

Follow the fatal call

You carry me down

Then you lock my doors

I'm left in an empty room

Waiting for truth

He'll be here soon

And his face is tired and worn

A fading star in the dawn



Like thieves

We live our lives to please

Like thieves



Slowly I'm learning

What I should value most

I'm in remission

I'm a living ghost

Blind faith I've learnt to hide

A vast cathedral deep inside

There's so much that I don't need

I just want to believe



Like thieves

We live our lives to please

Like thieves



And all the world's a mess

Saving art there's nothing left

Don't try to understand

Steal some joy if you can



Like thieves

We live our lives to please

Like thieves
