Verse 1
Do you remember the line in sand?
Our side belonged to the saints wearing white
One side looked good down the length of my nose
Resident only to soundrels and rogues
Chorus 1
Where rogues and thieves
Stay distant from your light
Rogues and thieves
In fairy tales you recite
Believing in safety won't make it alright
What you can't see still kills in the night
Rogues and thieves
Stand ready to take your life
Verse 2
I'd love to sing you songs about roses
Songs where the petals are free of the thorn
Soft flowing melodies pleasing your ear
But dysonant harmony's reality here
Verse 3
And so you awaken to mazes of briars
Lost but for whispers beyond the next hill
Follow the voice of the king if you can
Maybe we'll find another line in the sand
Chorus 2
Rogues and thieves
Beyond the fire's light
One-eyed sleep
A dagger at your side
What you can't see still kills in the night
You'll won't even feel the cold steel of the knife
Rogues and thieves
Stand ready to take your life
Verse 4
Now many suitors compete for attention
Screaming their message in hopes to be heard
Don't miss the varlet with dishevelled hair
Wouldn't an enemy seem far more fair?
Chorus 3
Do you remember when
I liked it better when
We lived far from life's harsh demands
Of rogues and thieves
And lines we drew in the sand
