Guild of Thieves

Thank you for your purchase of the album and your support on our musical journey. We really couldn't have done this without you and we hope that you'll continue to be part of our journey. As a little something extra for you, here are the lyrics to all album tracks.

Road Beyond Ruin

I bite my lip with frustration
Lost my finger to cold
My only friend passed at the station
The road beyond ruin’s my home
Don’t be too direct to judge me
My light is distant its true
Move on tramp you’re not wanted
The system is not made for you
But take it from me
The sky is falling
When all’s said and done, we are lonely
Or rather at least we’re alone
All of your fears are just fiction
Aged and weary I’m home
I stand in a line with a photograph
They tell me they know who I am
We’ve crossed the border to Neverland
This place isn’t going to stand
But take it from me,
The sky is falling
 
Instrumental
Cause when I am king of the table
I refuse to allow so much grief
We’ll march on the monsters of fables
Take back the loot from chief
And I have no reason to reason
The fault of your truth is not mine
Complications and treason
Follow me all through time
But take it from me
The sky is falling
 
And its plain to see
We’re not gunna make it to the morning
 

Love and Other Curses 

Trembling, he lifts the glass again
Lining the walls of his tomb in the end
She awakens fumbling in time
Confessions, broken, pleading to fly
 
But the light is in the dark
Though I bring the rain
I can’t stop fading away 
And the love is a mistake
Though I know the pain I must stay
The hate is ingrained
But the love is to blame 
They find some way to hope in the days that they crawl
Cradling their conscience in the warmth of a storm 
And I can face the glare though my soul denies it  
But how can I be spared as disdain only rises
 
Chorus 
Bridge 
And the light’s in the dark
Though I bring the rain
I can’t stop fading away  
And the love is a mistake
Though I know the pain I must stay
The hate is ingrained
But the love is to blame

Nevermoor

The moon paints the clouds with its claret train
Your horse may be high but it's tainted and lame
Careful not to fall upon your words
Humanity left as dead for the birds
But don't lose the meaning my friend
Never again
Just to soothe the score
Nevermoor
And the lies we tell ourselves
The stories for nobody else
And I'm sorry to the core
Broken and sore
Nevermoor
Your thin confident veneer is a trick of the eye
We must bow down to a self afflicting sky
I guess I'll have to do this alone
Watching from your palace of broken bones
We're lost but we pretend
Never again
Just to soothe the score
Nevermoor
And the lies we tell ourselves
The stories for nobody else
And I'm sorry to the core
Broken and sore
Nevermoor
As the smoke creeps under the door
You lay there begging for more
Your blood pools deep on the floor
Nevermoor 
And the lies we tell ourselves
The stories for nobody else
And I'm sorry to the core
Broken and sore


Winter’s Child

Foresake, all that ails me
Brace yourself as I slam my stake into the ground
Haste, will not save me
Blinded by the halo, I know I must be proud
Carrion
Your fate, states so clearly
The way I know the sense of me has finally run away
Glass makes me weary
As the life drains through the valley of the grey
Carrion
Strip what’s left from my bones
Upon the altar of blood and stone
And there is nothing for the stars to know
I am wandering the wild as winter’s child
Trace, all around me
Scrape the chalk across my face and blame me once again
As fate will not phase me
I will stand upon this hill and scream my name aloud
Carrion
Chorus
Bridge
Strip what’s left from my bones
Upon the altar of blood and stone
‘Cos there is nothing for the stars to know
I am wandering the wild as Winter’s child
Winter’s child
Winter’s child
Winter’s child
Yeah

Arthur

Stay high aim low it’s the scent of mayhem
A fine day for crows, the distaste within them
Try to take a bite, we're stretched so far apart
Tempted by the light though infected by the dark
In my eyes the ocean burns
In your mind the end returns
It’s so cruel everything has changed
You threw the fuel and I’m standing by the flame
Fury can soak, peasants on stone
Scarred nails on rope, pawns and gold
Surrender to the book of bones
I lay alone, head bound in hope
Chorus
Bridge
Chorus


Favour the bold

We agree, but we argue
We are free, which is untrue
Guided by the few, we follow blindly
 
I’m without, yet I’m with
Feel to shout, is to live
But it’s not so, it’s not so
For I’ve been where you stand
I still am
I still am
Dark nights filled with sand
I still am
For we seal our cracks with gold
Mending in ways we are sold
Sailing on memories we hold
Favour the bold
We’re favouring the bold
 
I am weak and egregious
You must seek, you must see this
The blood drips through my fist against my chest
As uncharted seas swallow me
Another man breaths finally
it’s a fate for all men to decay
 
For I have been where you stand,
I still am
I still am
Dark nights filled with sand
I still am
 
For we seal our cracks with gold
Mending in ways we are sold
Sailing on memory’s we hold
Favour the bold
We’re favouring the bold
Well I know, I know
You feel discouraged
I know, I know your light is soft
But you must ignore the raft of lies
The lies, that make you question life
As the scythe of strife, falls upon you
 
For we seal our cracks with gold
Mending in ways we are sold
Sailing on memory’s we hold
Favour the bold
We seal our cracks with gold
Mending in ways we are sold
Sailing on memory’s we hold
Favour the bold
We’re favouring the bold


Fading Sun

Try to blame myself, can’t find a way
Although the door is closed I can’t complain
But the longing on your face
Takes me to my grave
And the love breaks down 
On the sodden ground
Taste me again, will this be the end
And as I raise my gun
In the fading sun
I will only run when the waters come
The brazen ways you pray against my wish
How in all the hells we came to this
But the longing on your face
Takes me to my grave
And the love breaks down 
On the sodden ground
Taste me again, will this be the end
And as I raise my gun
In the fading sun
I will only run when the waters come
Take me away
The final deal of the day
Though I haunt myself
I’ll stay
And the love breaks down 
On the sodden ground
Taste me again, will this be the end
And as I raise my gun
In the fading sun
I will only run when the waters come


Dark Petal

Maybe I'm just space dust rusting,
Blunted ways I'm trying to trust with
Bound by daisys, I’m tired of pushing
One dark petal at a time
 
They say that pain is just for the living
Which explains the way I’m feeling
But I don’t mind all the days that the darkness ebbs away
I’m standing at the base
Of all the things I’ve wasted
 
Lay your favours at my feet
Cause my roots they run to deep
You can’t chain me down,
you can’t chain me down,
you can’t chain me down
No, oh no, one dark petal at time
Maybe I’m a faithless waster
The tidal wave is gonna take you away
But I don’t mind, when Jesus comes to stay
I’m standing at the base
Of all the things I’ve wasted
 
Lay your favours at my feet
Cause my roots they run to deep
You can’t chain me down,
you can’t chain me down,
you can’t chain me down
No, oh no, one dark petal at time
-instrumental-
Lay your favours at my feet
Cause I know I’m in to deep
You can’t chain me down
You can’t chain me down
You can’t chain me down
One dark petal at a time



The way we fall

And I will not fall
To kneel before you
And I hear your call
Through it all
This is the way we fall
 
In the night you are weak and questioning love
To take this time from me, drink from my cup
The light bends as it breaks,
Your love too bitter to taste
Send it to me
Your faith so fickle
 
Scarlet lips in the moon whispering blood
I aim to speak too soon, my face in the mud
The light bends as it breaks
Your love too bitter to taste
Send it to me
Your faith so fickle
 
And I will not fall
To kneel before you
And I hear your call,
Through it all
This is the way fall
 
There’s a whisper of truth on your lips but its stands amongst villains
In the light of your judgement, I am frozen
The blood dark on my feet
Empathy distant and weak,
Send it to me
Your faith so fickle
 
And I will not fall
To kneel before you
And I hear your call
Through it all
This is the way we fall
 
I believe that if we’re honest with ourselves
The greatest war of life is that of the self
That the most fascinating problem in this world is
Who am i? What is i? Me
I have come to the conclusion, that what most civilised people mean by that word is an hallucination
 
And I will not fall
To kneel before you
And I hear your call
Through it all
This is the way we fall
 
(and I will not fall)
This is the way we fall
(to kneel before you)
This is the way we fall
(and I hear your call, through it all)
The way we fall
 

Kingdom of Ash

Standing on the brink of war
This is your final call
And the game is staged
Crossing lines that you yourself made
Your guilt it is all you can afford
And it’s soo easy to ignore
The screams outside until
No more remains
No more remains
No more remains
Until something bright takes the shade
No more remans
So you plant your flag
In your kingdom of ash
Manic eyes, dead smiles
Holding on for one more trial
Your guilt it is all you can afford
And it’s soo easy to ignore
The screams outside until
No more remains
No more remains
No more remains
Until something bright takes the shade
No more remans






I Will Always Love You

If I should stay
I would only be in your way
So I’ll go but I’ll know
I’ll think of you every step fo the way
And I, I will always love you
I will always love
Bittersweet memories
That is all I’m taking with me
So goodbye, please don’t cry
We both know I’m not what you need
And I, I will always love you
I will always love
instrumental
I will always love you
I will always love
