Aceyalone - The Thief In The Night Lyrics
As I awakenBorn from the slums and takenThrough the ritual, childhood, puberty, adulthood, maturityAnd mastery of meAnd my surroundings counting down the days till Im exposed,I hear it move swiftly underneath the noseTill one day youre face to face youre gonna cross the lineYoure lost for timeLife lose diminishedHeart beat finished replenishNow you can be one with the lightBut when it comes itll come like a thief in the nightHook:So hollow the ground and dont put up a fightCause when it comes itll come like a thief in the nightYeah, obey the laws and do everything rightBut when it comes itll come like a thief in the nightFor real we take em awayThey take em awayWe take em awayThey take em awayWe take em awayVerse 2:I hear the sound of the rain trickling down my window paneIt stains the seal to let me know life is realSustain and build and and maintain a force fieldI use it in a time of need when its hazzardestAs it is saidBe defensive at all time for instanceAs soon as Im elevated out of existenceI am no moreI can soarRight on the back of an eagleOr look eye to eye with a beetleBut now I am engagedIn none other than the physical form in which Im cagedSuch lawlessness involved in this charadeTainted face painted blackIs that the end momma? cant I come back?No your train stops hereRight where the rain drops appearNext stop inbetween the earsObjection to make you cirularWork you just enough so you can work yourselfHookVerse 3:Overly anxious cant just waitTo see when death is gonna pull you to your fateIts inevitable theres no escapeTheres no mistakeEvery time a life is given its another one you have to takeThen your electricity and and your energys releasedBorn into another soul after your physicals deceasedMay you forever rest in peaceAlthough your current is concurrent there is no deturrentYou will cease to be no moreThe war has been wonThe warrior is rested and your duty here is doneJust when you think youre having funItll snatch you up and runFor a second you appreciate the sunFor a half a second you appreciate the starsFor a half a second you reflect on who you areAnd what you whereAnd in a flash its all a blurHookOutro:Ladies and gentlemen todays subject is deathThe way I look at it its three basic elements right?Die, dying, dead right? die, dying, dead. death becomes you says the crow toThe cheetah because youre an old cat. see you seem a little under theWeather, while me, my wings are as strong as ever, he says.Well that may be so the cheetah says to the crow, but you know where toFind me, because everybody gets their time card pulled. youll just be a fewMore steps behind me, and behind you may I remind you so is everything thatsTrue and living, thats life driven is given a final shock boy. franklySpeaking, everything in here is on the clock boy. every atom, organism,Insect, animal, man is gonna die, dying, dead. death becomes you, says theArmadillo to the crow, oh you oh you are gonna die.
