Yoad Nevo - The Thieves lyrics

At my heels a stone At my head green turf Here I stake my home Beneath the earth It's a cold sunrise As you shield your eyes From the story's end: the young man dies And you can't hold on no you don't belong The life of love we lived in d**h is gone When I pa**ed that door I pa**ed alone Here I am simple, blind flesh and bone Like a darkened dream I sense my soul In a spark of pain freed from below Like a pollen scent on winds I'm flown To places faces I've never seen or known And memories wheel, memories flow Like trails of blood on pure white snow Here I eat the fruit my life has sown A thousand streaming visions blown [Hook: Jem] When light has left the day They come and take away Like predator to prey The thieves No peace until they lay The hunt is underway Like predator to prey The thieves In a field of stones I see my home As if these eyes of mine were still my own Can't break the secret that's in you soul Don't understand the meaning of the bond we hold Through lifetimes, centuries Trough epochs, blind destinies Over raging waves of human history For best and worst, for love, hate, pa**ion, greed Entwined like vines sprung from one seed Enchanted in mind to multiply and breed Now dead but living, now waking seems To hold more substance than a dream Slung down to darkness where the mothers scream Placentas churn and the foetus feed Wrapped round a bleeding spinal tree A pumping heart begins to breathe [Hook: Jem] When light has left the day They come and take away Like predator to prey The thieves No peace until they lay The hunt is underway Like predator to prey The thieves And now I break this human mould My spirit sours into a hole A tunnel leads to silver glows Bright lights upon a winding road And I can't believe I didn't know My mind was blind my heart was cold If I live again I promise this I'll live to find again this bliss [Hook: Jem] When light has left the day They come and take away Like predator to prey The thieves No peace until they lay The hunt is underway Like predator to prey The thieves [Verse 4: Jem] They will not hesitate Stolen before you wake The arbiters of fate The thieves No sanctuary to take No vows for them to break Stolen before you wake The thieves Get on my knees and pray Pray they won't come my way I want to live today The thieves
