Atreyu The Theft Lyrics

The Theft Lyrics

He bends and he breaks

If he gives they will take away

His passion,
his pain, his grace



He exhales,

A thousand black flowers
explode

Into butterflies as they're away



[Chorus:]

Rip
them out, take them,

Burn to coals as they crush and leave nothing

That resembles a soul of a man

See him numb, see him crushed (see him
numb, see him crushed)

Rip them out, take them

Burn to coals as
they crush and leave nothing

That resembles a soul of a man

Leave
them numb, leave them crushed (leave them numb, leave them crushed)



Took the fire inside

One too many times

He's burning over and out
now,

He flails

Up against the raging tides,

No more fights

Everything you ever wanted to see,

See it in his eyes

One more
time, one more time



Climb down to test the waters,

My hands
feel like they're rusting away, yeah, yeah, yeah,

So I'll pace around
like a lamb before the slaughter

I'll stay here as long as you let
me,

Decision's been made obvious so I will return

Where I started
I'll stay here

When I'm finished I'll whither away



[Chorus:]

Rip them out, take them,

Burn to coals as they crush
and leave nothing

That resembles a soul of a man

See him numb, see
him crushed (see him numb, see him crushed)

Rip them out, take them

Burn to coals as they crush and leave nothing

That resembles a soul of
a man

Leave them numb, leave them crushed (leave them numb, leave them
crushed)
