Dan Bull - Thief lyrics

I'm a dastardly master thief
The chance of you actually catching me
Is but minimal I've maximum mastery
Mastered each of my skills to the max
You see that's the key
I treat combat as last and least
Because I vastly prefer sneaking
Past with ease
But, if I have to, I'll attack from the back
Crack
Snatch your key and stash that in my knapsack
This isn't the way the planet has to be
Handcrafted skills killed by factories
Fat cats are treating talent nastily
Somebody has to redress the
Balance and it's me

I'm a thief, a man upon a mission
I'm a shadow in the corner of your vision
Taking all your things with
No need for permission
I'm a man upon a mission, I'm a thief

I'm a thief, a man upon a mission
I'm a shadow in the corner of your vision
Taking all your things with
No need for permission
I'm a man upon a mission, I'm a thief

Freedom lies where I hide in the shadows
I desire to strike into the light
Like the flight of an arrow
I creep through the narrow streets
And the breeze sends a
Shiver through my marrow, see
I haven't much left in the war chest
So I best make a quick trip
Visit Baron Northcrest
There's a right tyrant
So I might have to end my silence
And get a mite violent cause if I don't
Then Orion'll be vying for a fight
And his style and aggressiveness
In Rhetoric are quite diametrical to mine
He'd rather break a window
I tend to pull the blinds

I'm a thief, a man upon a mission
I'm a shadow in the corner of your vision
Taking all your things with
No need for permission
I'm a man upon a mission, I'm a thief

I lived in a realm that I doubt was jocund
But this new town's nought but rotten
Greed and disease and the sound of coughing
Drowned out by the crowd in
The House of Blossoms
We could recrown it in the House of Sodom
There's a sea of people out need help
But sod them leave it long enough it'll
Be no doubt forgotten
Like the time Xiao Xiao said
I felt her bottom
I hear the tick tock of the tower clock and
It means I better nip off out for shopping
Prowl atop inns, the Crippled Burrick Pub
Down I drop into the city that I love
The pinnacle of criminals I
Slip in from above
A night owl with the philosophic
Mission of a dove
When there's no one left to police
The streets and keep the peace
You best leave it to me, the thief, peace

I'm a thief, a man upon a mission
I'm a shadow in the corner of your vision
Taking all your things with
No need for permission
I'm a man upon a mission, I'm a thief

I'm a thief, a man upon a mission
I'm a shadow in the corner of your vision
Taking all your things with
No need for permission
I'm a man upon a mission, I'm a thief
