[Intro]
No bell, no breath
No name, no light
One shadow walks
The mouth of night

[Verse]
When cups were low and the songs were spent
The silent thief rose where the candle bent
He moved through smoke like a passing sin
With a lockpick smile and a ghost-thin grin

[Pre-Chorus]
He counted boards
He marked the sound
He found the place
Where none looked down

[Chorus]
The Silent Thief at Midnight
Walks where the lanterns die
He steals no crown or silver
He steals the hidden lie
The Silent Thief at Midnight
Knows what the brave pretend
There is a door beneath us
At the tavern near World’s End

[Verse]
Under a rug with a dragon stain
He found old scratches and a rusted chain
The runes were cold as a widow’s hand
And older than any mortal land

[Pre-Chorus]
He almost laughed
He almost fled
Then heard his own name
Spoken by the dead

[Chorus]
The Silent Thief at Midnight
Walks where the lanterns die
He steals no crown or silver
He steals the hidden lie
The Silent Thief at Midnight
Knows what the brave pretend
There is a door beneath us
At the tavern near World’s End

[Instrumental]
Muted strings and tapping wood
Fiddle creeps through shadowed blood
Drums like footsteps down below
Where the nameless cold winds blow

[Bridge]
I robbed a prince
I robbed a priest
I robbed a grave of gold
But I never stole from darkness
That whispered from the old

[Breakdown]
Click went the lock
Crack went the seam
Black came the wind
Like a drowned man’s dream

[Build-up]
He called the others
Soft and low
Bring steel, bring song
Bring flame below

[Chorus]
The Silent Thief at Midnight
Walks where the lanterns die
He steals no crown or silver
He steals the hidden lie
The Silent Thief at Midnight
Knows what the brave pretend
There is a door beneath us
At the tavern near World’s End

[Chorus]
The Silent Thief at Midnight
Has found the buried stair
No god has blessed its turning
No mortal map goes there
The Silent Thief at Midnight
Throws back the secret bend
And all five hearts go downward
From the tavern near World’s End

[Outro]
No bell, no breath
No name, no light
One shadow found
The teeth of night
