"The Master Thief" lyrics

The dark he will steal from the shadows
From the neck of the goddess, the bling
In a blink will take your sweet pillow
And even the horse from under the king

He will snatch the last breath from the dying
The light is ripped from the day
He swears on the truth but is lying
And when luck comes your way
He will take it away

Robs from both poor and rich men
All this, without being seen
Sparrows and wine from the kitchen
And with a gentle hand
The heart of the princess

The master thief
The great deceiver
He fakes and he steals
The mystery weaver
The master thief
The great deceiver
There's always a thief
The mystery weaver

He's picking the stars like apples
Climbs up the tower again
The thief will be prince and then emperor
But love he can't steal and no one to call friend

The master thief
The great deceiver
He takes and bereaves
The mystery weaver
The master thief
The great deceiver
There's always a thief
The mystery weaver

The master thief
There's always, there's always
A thief
The master thief
The great, the great deceiver
The master, the master thief
