Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Some day I won't just give up the fight
They'll sit there fires burning
But We'll see how long they last tonight (tonight)
I am a thief in the night
I am a one way street
And I won't handle hard
I am a thief in the night
I am a thief in the
And all these sound convincing
There claims against me seem so right
I hope that highest treason
Without your breath they won't survive (survive)
I am a thief in the night
I am a one way street
And I won't handle hard
If it's the enemy
I am a thief in the night
I am a thief in the night
I am a one way street
And I won't handle hard
If it's the enemy
I am a thief in the night
I am a thief in the
Sometimes it's not worth fighting
Sometimes it's not worth fighting
But I think that loves worth dying for
I am a thief in the night
I am a one way street
And I won't handle hard
If it's the enemy
I am a thief in the night
I am a thief in the
I am a thief in the night
I am a one way street
And I won't handle hard
If it's the enemy
I am a thief in the night
I am a thief in the night
