Ever unseen, he silently steals our greatest treasures
There's no escaping his hungry grasp, even with the most extreme of measures
He takes the colour from our hair, the luster of skin, the light in our eyes
He takes our loved ones, friends, and family; despite our cries
Even our memories vanish without a trace
All stolen while he wears that haunting expressionless face
Focus on him and you'll see his actions slow
Become distracted and he'll pass you by before you know
As his hands rythmically and hypnotically spin
That thief will steal away our world before it has a chance to begin
