Death of Thieves

I realised that day when i looked in to my darkest sky; the moon had lost its halo

Now the moon has lost its halo all of my nights are left blind, all of my life i've learnt to hide

Withering

Too aware of who is watching in the face of my deceit

My audience became my critics

The parasites have fed too long

Alone i suffered in the hands of others, alone i survived, let my stature reach the sky

Now it's time, leave it all behind, let it go

So i must turn away and overcome, using all my strength to carry it on, all my fears will never return

They will drain the life from me if i don't stop them

Their stares are a crushing burden

I never wanted to be alone, hidden away from it more than now

Solitude is a cure that cannot be found

Solitude's the cure that can't be found, to these vultures i am bound

They're eating away at my sanity like it's going out of fashion

I need a foothold, a life line to grasp, but every step seems as slippery as the last

Got to find a way, got to find a way, got to find a way to cast their names

I cannot delay or keep their hate at bay

I will rid all that became, cut the ties that hold my bane

Now i've become more aware i will not surrender

The death of thieves

Their storm rides alongside their broken wings, hate and fear they bring

They carry much of what i once owned and now have killed

Broken but still i stand

I have won, i have lost, i have lost

Although i won the war i have lost everything

I have lost you

I will rid my oppression if it's the last thing i do
