Lyrics

[L: parcharidis / m: human fortress]

A road so old, so dark - a trail where the damned walk
I've reached the gates of schattentor
Here under this sycamore - lies buried my claymore
Through long absence I have not been here

Now armed with dagger, sword and bow - a thief will never let you know
That he is blamed to be the source - the bringer of an evil curse
That he is evil, honourless - never crave a good fight
Yes I'm a thief, a larcenist - a creature of the night

[Chorus]
Torches guide my way to shattentor - where wandering souls forlorn
For gold my soul will wander alone
Will wander alone

I'm a thief who never learned to fear - often quiet when you come near
My life is all I hold dear - I am well paid for the bloodstains long
For robbing the wicked - and sending them where they belong

The guardian knights next to arrive - no, they will leave me alive
I saw their horses, through the tress - heard their panting through the
Leaves
Rumble, ruble through the grass - through villages they pass
And over hills to find the thief - known far and wide

[Chorus]

I'm the tief known fear - the thief known far and wide
Know places I can hide - to elude a guard or enemy very close
For I am swift and clever than the most - the people don't know what I'm inside
