I am a thief
I am a muderer, walking up this lonely hill
What have I done?
I don't remember, no one knows just how I feel
And I know that my time is comming soon
It's been so long
Oh, such a long time since I've lived with peace and rest
And now I am here
At my destination, I guess things work for the best
And I know that my time is comming soon
Who is this man?
This man beside me
That they call the "King of the Jews"
They don't believe he's the messiah
But somehow I know it's true
They laugh at him in mockery
And beat him till he bleeds
They nail him to the rugged cross and raise him,
Yeah they raise him up next to me
My time has come
I'm slowly fading
I deserve what I've recieved
Jesus when you are in your kingdom,
Could you please remember me
He looks at me still holding on and tears fall from his eyes
He says to me "You tell the truth, today you will live with me in paradise"
And I know that my time is comming soon
And I know that my time is comming soon

I don't want to understand this horror
There's a weight in your eyes that I can't admit
Everybody ends up here in bottles
But the nametags the last thing you wanted
As the world explodes we fall out of it
But we can't let go because this
Will not go away
There's a house built out in space...
I can't see that thief that lives inside of your head
But I can be some courage at the side of your bed
I don't know whats happening and I won't pretend
But I can be your...
Someone help us understand who ordered
This disgusting arrangement with time and the end
I don't want to hear who walked on water

Waste a smile, waste an afternoon, waste a while just waiting.
Watch the thief follow the aftermath, wasting time just hanging round.
Waste an hour, watch the shadows rolling, watch the thief go walking by.
I'm sure theres always going to be foot marks and fingerprints.
I'm sure there's always going to be thieves and liars, robbers and cheats.
I'm sure there's always going to be eyes in the darkness.
I'm sure there's always going to be thieves and liars.
From me to you.
Waste an hour, waste an afternoon, watch the thief go walking by.

Waiting's over
Feel it in my blood
And in my veins
All the pleasure and the pain
Is coming back again
Shine a little shine on me
From within I know that
Life's making me a make believe ...
Like a little devotion
Hidden somewhere
Like a thief is waiting for the night
Like a precious emotion
Cautious somehow
Like a thief is waiting for the night
Words unspoken
Floating from your mind
Into your brain
All the feelings, all insane
Drives me on again ...
Shine a little shine for me
From within i know that

Turn of events
Where seconds give way to moments
In my mind I lose these faces
Forget these places
Try to find some traces of me
Time is an unseen thief
It steals my thoughts and memories from me
I'm left behind with this apathy so tempting
where minutes don't seem so kind
I find that...
Time comes, and I don't matter
Time numbs, and dreams lay shattered
I stand, and time just passes me by
While the clock on the wall is racing
I fight for shreds of feeling
Inside, time keeps stealing mine
A dreamless dance
Where instance defies existence
In this life we feel confined
We fall behind
To the rhythem of the endless design
Time is a clock in the heart
The seconds pass before they can start
I'm torn apart with this apathy, so empty
Where seconds seem so unkind
I find that...
Time comes, and I don't matter
Time numbs, and dreams lay shattered
I stand, and time just passes me by
While the clock on the wall entraps me
I fight for shreds of feeling
Inside time keeps stealing mine
Time comes
(do I fight against time or a state of mind?)
Time numbs
(when everything's fine in my paradigm)
Time comes
(do I fight against time or a state of mind?)
Time numbs
(when everything's fine in my paradigm)
Time comes
(time never starts and it never ends)
Time numbs
(do I fight against time or do I make amends?)
Time comes, and it won't matter
Time numbs, and dreams lay shattered
I stand, and time just passes me by
While the clock on the wall is raging
I find peace while kneeling
This night I'm just stealing time

Verse One You make my skin crawl
You make my eyes sore
You make my nose bleed
You make my cup weep
You're just a common thief, thief to me
You're just a common thief to me, to me, to me
To me, oh, to me
You make my throat sick
You make my words stick
You make my mouth spit
You make my lip rip
You're just a common thief, thief to me
You're just a common thief to me, to me, to me
To me, oh, to me
You're just a common thief, thief to me
You're just a common thief to me, to me, to me
To me, oh, to me

Stole learn outshed
You thief, I thought you were an inject
Reluctant to recognise:
It's over
You want it back, you keep your reason
(I don't want it)
You want it back, you keep your freedom
(I don't want it)
You want it back, you keep you jacket
I don't want it
You want it back, you want it
You want it back
You keep your freedom
Ah...
Shaking and scared
I thought you'd make it easy
I failure to read the sign
that said "it's over"
You want it back, you keep your reason
(I don't want it)
You want it back, you keep your freedom
(I don't want it)
You want it back, you keep you jacket
I don't want it
You want it back, you want it
You want it back
You keep your freedom
Ah...
(Keep talking...)
You want it back, you keep your reason
(I don't want it)
You want it back, you keep your freedom
(I don't want it)
You want it back, you keep you jacket
I don't want it
You want it back, you want it
You want it back
You keep your freedom

Run away, when you see me
Hide in shame, you have no blame.
THIEF, THIEF, THIEF Run away from me
THIEF, THIEF Run away from me!!
Now you think that it passed you
But we're not fucking through
I never forgive, I never forget
A promise in black and blue.
THIEF, THIEF, THIEF

Chorus 2x:
I Gotta say piece to the thieves
Looking over their shoulders when they're walkin down
the street
We’ve got to even out the worlds economy (How we do
that!?)
With a little bit of larceny
Push up five fingers in the air if you're down with
five finger discount
Hold up Embee let me just count, one, two, three,
four... plus some more
Thieves down we're running from the man-made law
If laws make man then I'm not human, run over animal
beat-boxes
Big up people sleepin in boxes in the concrete jungle,
to get my shit in a bundle
No time to make mistakes no time to fumble
You gotta plan your racking-mission with precision
Recognition is no good in this business
Listen, equipment depends on what the situation
requires
You gotta be able to shoplift in any attire
My personal favourite though is my specially designed
jacket
With two big pockets on the inside, summertime means
bad business for petty crimes
Might only wear a t-shirt still have to rack in your
waistline
This great rhyme you heard from the great vine
If they're askin you for names don't you dare to say
mine
Say word, I hear ads tellin me to join the retail-
revolution, fuck that I stick to boastin
All my way out to Dj Erase in Fittja, listen in da
sizzla
Telling the store-owner to tell it some more
Youth man-hungry time to settle the score, that's
why...
Chorus
(time to dress up in our best rackin-clothes) from
Promoe's "Spraycan stories"
(you can catch me in the store rackin up) from Promoe's
"Poor lonesome homeboy"
(I'm just tryin to live and get my cut) from
Looptroop's "Biggest Hustle"
It all started with spraycans defacing the community
A can is ten or fifteen bucks they wanna ruin me
If somebody sues me after this song I'll laugh
You ain't got shit on my ass, not even half
To steal, you gotta have nerves of cold steel
Gotta know when to move, gotta know when to hold still
You know chill wait for the right moment
Gotta learn to separate the cool ones from the
informants
With the store-owners you don't want eye contact
In the worst case you might have to put the stuff back
Fuck that, it's kind of rough to rack
But Im'a keep use of my hands 'til they cuff them back
Stop my shirt in my pants and strap the belt tight
Big coat on top of that fill my back with all I might
Hopefully I'm alright no alarms I beg
If everything else fails I got a good pair of legs
You heard that in spraycan stories but here's another
Nothing spectacular, a daily operation
We went inside the store, rather big mall
Rolls of films, batteries, spraycans I took it all
Headin' for the exit but something wasn't right
So I turned to my man and was like:
Let's drop this shit, it ain't worth the risk
What do you know they called the coppers that later
came to frisk
Us, but now we had nothing on us
They press charges but they got nothing on us
Still, shit like this might make me a bit shaky
But at the end of the day I gotta say peace
Chorus
(and go shoplifting x4)
(time to dress up in our best rackin-clothes)
(you can catch me in the store rackin up)
(I'm just tryin to live and get my cut)
One more story I don't hesitate to glorify
Rule number one: you gotta learn how to lie
Deny everything 'cause the best evidence
Actually comes from your own statements so,
Stick to friends with the same mind frame
Or they might rat you out and you take the whole blame
Like me, got busted when I was just a minor
Two cases of liquor the kids I rolled with was vagina
They dropped the dime and I had no experience
Cried after the hearing though they had no evidence
But ever since that only once I got caught
Running from cops instead of playing sports
That ain't something I'm proud of that's just something
I do
I don't really have to justify my actions to you
But go ahead cast the first stone
Then when your glasshouse has shattered leave me alone
But check it, I take from the rich give to myself
To me it's property, that's the greatest theft
Cause I don't rack up and stack up in a big warehouse
Trying to make a profit sellin in out
I just take what I need to make it through the week
But it don't matter what I say so I won't speak no
more,
Trying to convince you of my innocence
I'll just stick to being a thief.. Forgive my sins
