Thieves of the Heart

One takes what does not belong In depths of darkness, moonlight night Daylight's ruins, breathless soul it feeds Our demeanor broken beneath the flesh Heart broken, emotion of evil devour Hurt tortures as if death appeared Stolen, denied life's promised ambition They rove, benign behind the face Thieves of the heart, robbed life's expectations Our soul torn, prod like a dead animal Killed senselessly, even words cut a rip To satisfy their own needs, thieves of the heart At the hands of greed, selfishness of desire Like a ghostly wind, a whisk and gone What is it we believe, life or death we follow Graves dug everyday, even ourselves a wall No man kill the bee, they just want the honey In us we live without remorse to consequences Always taken granted, we destroy all we live Human sacrifice or Earth's expense the price Thieves of the heart, denial to God's creation Mortality of mankind questioned morals Or their own doing to devastation of death Two thieves hung but only one went to heaven Be it choice, what life you lead to another That you even steal from yourself lifeless soul But another, you make them a thief of the heart
