As a Thousand Thieves

I have crossed unto the shadows
I have sinned against my own
When life began to fold in on me
I turned my back and disavowed my home
Sinned against my own
Leaving you a thousand pieces
A wreckage of your hopes and dreams
You thought you would hold them forever
Yet I stole each as a thousand thieves
Sinned against my own
As a thousand thieves your dreams I stole
A million times or maybe more
I must have run it through my head
The light I gathered close
Was never worth the pain I sowed
There’s no way to repay all I stole from you
There’s no hell deep enough to pay the penance due
Guitar Solo: Watson
What hell awaits me? What hell awaits me?
A million times or maybe more
I must have run it through my head
The light I gathered close
Was never worth the pain I sowed
Sinned against my own
As a thousand thieves your dreams I stole
