lyrics

I've stolen lives once or twice
Captured the goods encased in ice
Hearts were never made to be broken
Everything is gained when they are stolen

You'll find no better match in a thief
I'll take what I have earned, and steal to keep

It's never time I'm wasting
Nothing that I've forsaken
Nothing as sacred as the steal
Catch gold and dragon hearts in my hand
It's all the same but
I'll see my destiny revealed
When I take your soul

Plentiful gold in my grasp
All shades of luck, and sleight of hand
Taking kingdoms for fun, nothing but ease
Vaults of fortune and wealth across the sea

You'll find no better match in a thief
I'll take what I have earned, and steal to keep

And when I find you in the corner hiding
You'll know your fate is all but sealed
Weapons are drawn but they won't help you best me
I am the reaper here revealed
Your foolish mind, your precious heart
And from this world you take your leave
My wicked hand, all that I steal
You leave this world with nothing
Nothing to take, nothing to keep
