Thief

(Steven Mailer)

The end of mankind hinges on the piety of a single man as a demon attempts to seduce him into its service. A song about temptation and how easy it is to lose yourself when you sacrifice in its name.

Tracing my effects 
in the pacing of your breaths,
the trembling of your knees
telling me you’ve nothing left.

So give in.
Give it your all, 
cede control, 
what’ve you got to lose?
Except your soul! 

Give in! To the unconditional! 
Relent! Become unforgivable! 
Repent! When you think you’ve lost it all!
Resent! The light that let you fall! 
So, you think you cannot fall any further!?
But there’s so much more of you 
that I can nurture!
Give in! Become sensational! 
Give in! It’s inescapable!  
You’ll find out very soon 
That nothing is unbreakable!  

Feeling you curse
as I’m preparing my worst
Counting dreams like sheep 
As your faith is submersed 

Deep, 
beneath
the sighs of relief
You are my treasure 
And I am your thief! 

Give in! To the unconditional! 
Relent! Become unforgivable! 
Repent! When you think you’ve lost it all!
Resent! The light that let you fall! 
So, you think you cannot fall any further!?
But there’s so much more of you 
that I can nurture!
Give in! Become sensational! 
Give in! It’s inescapable!  
You’ll find out very soon 
That nothing is unbreakable!  



I am the name you cry in the dark
I am the longing from within your heart
I am the shadow of your doubts at play
I am the pride that denounced your shame! 

This is the eve of your transformation!
Ascension! Reformation! 
Transmogrification! 

Give in! To the unconditional! 
Take what’s yours 
Or squander it all! 

Now! Now! Now! 
Now is not the time to fall! 

Yours is the name that all saints know
Yours is the sin that corrupts their soul
Yours is the fall that begun this hex
Yours is the blame for what comes 

NEXT! 

Bloodstained stone 
And obsidian stairs! 
A palace made 
Of human nightmares! 
All for you and you for me
You my treasure and I your thief! 

I told you fate was inescapable.
