Shadow Thief

William Rimmer: Flight and Pursuit

Figures fly across a moonlit bay 
Without a sound a figure slips away 

Terror strikes a child inside my soul 
Shadow Thief will soon play a role 

Silent assassin clothed in black 
Who will play the pawn in his next attack 

Many men have lost their lives 
at the hands of Shadow Thief 
A master of an ancient skill handed down by priests 
Trained in every weapon 
known to man and known to beast 
Shadow Thief becomes the night 
The night becomes Shadow Thief 

Silent assassin clothed in black, 
I can see his next attack 
A dozen men have all gathered round 
One by one they hit the ground 
Shadow Thief cannot be found 

Many men have lost their lives 
at the hands of Shadow Thief 
A master of an ancient skill handed down by priests 
Trained in every weapon 
known to man and known to beast 
Shadow Thief becomes the night 
The night becomes Shadow Thief.
