lyrics

Deep in the south
there sleeps a city old and proud
older than man, it rose from the elder sands.

Sprawling labyrinth
home of thieves whores and lies,
citadel of sin, pleasure, violence, lust and chance.

City of thieves, beware the night
backalley shadows, will steal your life
in robbers lair, stay in company
lest you want to die, in this city of thieves.

Below the moon
cultists wander through the streets
while swords-for-hire, carrouse and feast.

Rogues unsheath their daggers
in the dark they wait
for the unwary
to walk into their domain.

City of thieves, beware the night
backalley shadows, will steal your life
in robbers lair, stay in company
lest you want to die, in this city of thieves.
