The Thief In The Night Lyrics - A Book Of Human Language (accompanied By Mumbles) - Aceyalone

As I awaken 

Born from the slums and taken 

Through the ritual, childhood, puberty, adulthood, maturity 

And mastery of me 

And my surroundings counting down the days till I'm exposed, 

"i hear it move swiftly" underneath the nose 

Till one day you're face to face you're gonna cross the line 

You're lost for time 

Life lose diminished 

Heart beat finished replenish 

Now you can be one with the light 

But when it comes it'll come like a thief in the night 

Hook: 

So hollow the ground and don't put up a fight 

Cause when it comes it'll come like a thief in the night 

Yeah, obey the laws and do everything right 

But when it comes it'll come like a thief in the night 

For real we take 'em away 

They take 'em away 

We take 'em away 

They take 'em away 

We take 'em away 

Verse 2: 

I hear the sound of the rain trickling down my window pane 

It stains the seal to let me know life is real 

Sustain and build and and maintain a force field 

I use it in a time of need when it's hazzardest 

As it is said 

Be defensive at all time for instance 

As soon as I'm elevated out of existence 

I am no more 

I can soar 

Right on the back of an eagle 

Or look eye to eye with a beetle 

But now I am engaged 

In none other than the physical form in which I'm caged 

Such lawlessness involved in this charade 

Tainted face painted black 

"is that the end momma? can't I come back? " 

No your train stops here 

Right where the rain drops appear 

Next stop inbetween the ears 

Objection to make you cirular 

Work you just enough so you can work yourself 

Hook 

Verse 3: 

Overly anxious can't just wait 

To see when death is gonna pull you to your fate 

It's inevitable there's no escape 

There's no mistake 

Every time a life is given it's another one you have to take 

Then your electricity and and your energy's released 

Born into another soul after your physical's deceased 

May you forever rest in peace 

Although your current is concurrent there is no deturrent 

You will cease to be no more 

The war has been won 

The warrior is rested and your duty here is done 

Just when you think you're having fun 

It'll snatch you up and run 

For a second you appreciate the sun 

For a half a second you appreciate the stars 

For a half a second you reflect on who you are 

And what you where 

And in a flash it's all a blur 

Hook 

Outro: 

Ladies and gentlemen today's subject is death 

The way I look at it it's three basic elements right? 

Die, dying, dead right? die, dying, dead. death becomes you says the crow to 

The cheetah because you're an old cat. see you seem a little under the 

Weather, while me, my wings are as strong as ever, he says. 

"well that may be so" the cheetah says to the crow, but you know where to 

Find me, because everybody gets their time card pulled. you'll just be a few 

More steps behind me, and behind you may I remind you so is everything that's 

True and living, that's life driven is given a final shock boy. frankly 

Speaking, everything in here is on the clock boy. every atom, organism, 

Insect, animal, man is gonna die, dying, dead. "death becomes you," says the 

Armadillo to the crow, "oh you oh you are gonna die."
