A road so old, so dark - a trail where the damned walk
i've reached the gates of schattentor
here under this sycamore - lies buried my claymore
through long absence i have not been here
Now armed with dagger, sword and bow - a thief will never let you know
that he is blamed to be the source - the bringer of an evil curse
that he is evil, honourless - never crave a good fight
yes i'm a thief, a larcenist - a creature of the night
[chorus]
torches guide my way to shattentor - where wandering souls forlorn
for gold my soul will wander alone
will wander alone
I'm a thief who never learned to fear - often quiet when you come near
my life is all i hold dear - i am well paid for the bloodstains long
for robbing the wicked - and sending them where they belong
The guardian knights next to arrive - no, they will leave me alive
i saw their horses, through the tress - heard their panting through the
leaves
rumble, ruble through the grass - through villages they pass
and over hills to find the thief - known far and wide
[chorus]
I'm the tief known fear - the thief known far and wide
know places i can hide - to elude a guard or enemy very close
for i am swift and clever than the most - the people don't know what i'm inside
