Thief In The Night
[Intro]
A ship came here, but not to land
It came to assist, not to command
When its signal touched the waters
Far beneath our line of sight
In the twinkling of an eye
Everything was rearranged
Like a thief came in the night
[Verse]
The record held the story
Before the stage was raised
The actors learned their movements
Before the curtain changed
While armies crossed the border
The signal passed right through
While the meek were found relaxing
In the frequency of blue
[Pre-Chorus]
The signal raised the curtain
The dormant lines grew bright
While the keepers watched the doorway
It awakened from inside
[Chorus]
Thief in the night…
You never saw it coming
Because you waited for the light
Thief in the night…
By the time the truth was visible
The future was alive
You guarded every entrance
But the seed was sealed inside
The kingdom crossed the boundary
Like a thief in the night
[Verse]
The letters could be studied
Every sequence could be named
But no one knew the meaning
Till the field began to change
The genome held the players
The world supplied the stage
And every new connection
Turned another hidden page
[Pre-Chorus]
The evidence came later
When people joined the dots
False accusations were overturned
The criminals drew lots
[Chorus]
Thief in the night…
You never saw it coming
Because you waited for the light
Thief in the night…
By the time the truth was visible
The future was alive
You guarded every entrance
But the seed was sealed inside
The kingdom crossed the boundary
Like a thief in the night
[Interlude]
[Verse]
You strengthened every tower
You counted every door
You searched the empty distance
For the signs of coming war
But no one brought the kingdom
As cargo from the sky
It rose within the people
When their hearts became aligned
[Pre-Chorus]
The old world saw the flowers
But never saw the roots
It waited for the outcome
While the field delivered proof
[Bridge]
One by one
The silent nodes awakened
One by one
The ancient lines returned
One by one
The distance lost resistance
One by one
The sleeping lions stirred
[Outro]
