At my heels a stone
At my head green turf
Here I stake my home
Beneath the earth
It's a cold sunrise
As you shield your eyes
From the story's end: the young man dies
And you can't hold on no you don't belong
The life of love we lived in death is gone
When I passed that door I passed alone
Here I am simple, blind flesh and bone
Like a darkened dream I sense my soul
In a spark of pain freed from below
Like a pollen scent on winds I'm flown
To places faces I've never seen or known
And memories wheel, memories flow
Like trails of blood on pure white snow
Here I eat the fruit my life has sown
A thousand streaming visions blown
[Hook: Jem]
When light has left the day
They come and take away
Like predator to prey
The thieves
No peace until they lay
The hunt is underway
Like predator to prey
The thieves
In a field of stones I see my home
As if these eyes of mine were still my own
Can't break the secret that's in you soul
Don't understand the meaning of the bond we hold
Through lifetimes, centuries
Trough epochs, blind destinies
Over raging waves of human history
For best and worst, for love, hate, passion, greed
Entwined like vines sprung from one seed
Enchanted in mind to multiply and breed
Now dead but living, now waking seems
To hold more substance than a dream
Slung down to darkness where the mothers scream
Placentas churn and the foetus feed
Wrapped round a bleeding spinal tree
A pumping heart begins to breathe
[Hook: Jem]
When light has left the day
They come and take away
Like predator to prey
The thieves
No peace until they lay
The hunt is underway
Like predator to prey
The thieves
And now I break this human mould
My spirit sours into a hole
A tunnel leads to silver glows
Bright lights upon a winding road
And I can't believe I didn't know
My mind was blind my heart was cold
If I live again I promise this
I'll live to find again this bliss
[Hook: Jem]
When light has left the day
They come and take away
Like predator to prey
The thieves
No peace until they lay
The hunt is underway
Like predator to prey
The thieves
[Verse 4: Jem]
They will not hesitate
Stolen before you wake
The arbiters of fate
The thieves
No sanctuary to take
No vows for them to break
Stolen before you wake
The thieves
Get on my knees and pray
Pray they won't come my way
I want to live today
The thieves
