Текст песни Thief (Dan Bull) с переводом

I’m a dastardly master thief

The chance of you actually catching me

Is but minimal I’ve maximum mastery

Mastered each of my skills to the max, you see

That’s the key

I treat combat as last and least

Because I vastly prefer sneaking past with ease

But if I have to, I’ll attack from the back, crack

Snatch your key and stash that in my knapsack

This isn’t the way the planet has to be

Handcrafted skills killed by factories

Fat cats are treating talent nastily

Somebody has to redress the balance and it’s me

I’m a thief, a man upon a mission

I’m a shadow in the corner of your vision

Taking all your things with no need for permission

I’m a man upon a mission, I’m a thief

Freedom lies where I hide in the shadows

I desire to strike into the light

Like the flight of an arrow

I creep through the narrow streets

And the breeze sends a shiver through my marrow, see

I haven’t much left in the war chest

So I best make a quick trip, visit Baron Northcrest

There’s a right tyrant

So I might have to end my silence

And get a mite violent

Cause if I don’t

Then Orion’ll be vying for a fight

And his style and aggressiveness

In Rhetoric are quite diametrical to mine

He’d rather break a window

I tend to pull the blinds

I lived in a realm that I doubt was jocund

But this new town’s nought but rotten

Greed and disease and the sound of coughing

Drowned out by the crowd in the House of Blossoms

We could recrown it in the House of Sodom

There’s a sea of people out need help but sod them

Leave it long enough it’ll be no doubt forgotten

Like the time Xiao Xiao said I felt her bottom

I hear the tick tock of the tower clock and

It means I better nip off out for shopping

Prowl atop inns, the crippled burrick pub

Down I drop into the city that I love

The pinnacle of criminals; I slip in from above

A night owl with the philosophic mission of a dove

When there’s no one left to police the streets

And keep the peace

You best leave it to me

The thief

Peace
