Prince Of Thieves

This is not my usual style, because it is not intended to be a lyric. Nonetheless, since lyrics are basically poems in themselves, this can still be classed with the rest of my poetic works.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here I tell a tale, makes my heart swell
Of the days I was the Prince of Thieves
A tragedy where, as my teardrops fell
I toiled and troubled for my dear family

First, the wife, mean so much to me
Struck with fatality, she'd hardly see
I tried and I tried to give her a cure
Yet my low stature deemed me inferior

And so I defied the laws of the land
To pay for heroics I felt the iron hand
Took me away, they would not heed
And thus they named me the Prince of Thieves

And thus she passed...

Then, first-born, mean so much to me
Starving and wounded, a child in need
I tried and I tried to give her respite
Yet all my efforts were clogged with might

And again I defied the laws of the land
For feed for my child, I felt the iron hand
Took me away, they would not heed
And thus they named me the Prince of Thieves

And thus, she passed...

Then, last child, all that's left of me
Fell with the illness, could hardly breathe
I tried and I tried to give her a cure
Yet my past crimes deemed me sinner

And again I defied the laws of the land
To save my last love, I felt the iron hand
Took me away, they would not heed
And thus they named me the Prince of Thieves

And thus, she passed...

The tale I told, makes my days cold
Of the days I was the Prince of Thieves
I hope you learn from what I've told
So as to guide you in your dire times of need

And thus, I shall pass...
