Thieves, anthem

Lyrics

Verse 1:**
*I’m nailed to this wreckage of every wrong I’ve spun,*
*These splintered hands clutch the dust of what I’ve done.*
*The crowd’s laughing gasoline, my soul’s a charred fuse,*
*But here in the ruins, I’ve got nothing left to lose.*
*The righteous sneer like shattered glass,*
*But You… You wear my shame like a crown at last.*

**Chorus:**
***Jesus, Jesus—don’t forget my name!***
*When Your kingdom crashes in, let me taste that flame!*
*I’m just a thief in the wreckage, howling through the storm,*
*But if mercy’s got a heartbeat—rip my chest till it’s warm!*
***Remember me, remember me…***
*When You split the sky with the keys to eternity!*

**Verse 2:**
*I sold my soul for a dozen Judas coins,*
*Now the devil’s receipts are just ash in my joints.*
*Your voice is a landslide in this desert of bones,*
*A hurricane of grace in this dead man’s ozone.*
*The cross is a compass, the only north I know,*
*So take my breath, take my rage—make it holy, make it whole.*

**Bridge:**
*They say You reign where the broken finally bleed,*
*Well, here’s my life—a mangled, rusted creed.*
*I’m the prodigal choking on the pigsty’s lies,*
*But Your eyes… Your eyes are homecoming skies.*
***One breath, one gasp: “SAVE ME!”***
*And the cosmos cracks with the weight of “TAKE ME!”*

**Guitar Solo:**
*(Screaming licks, minor-key wails, descending into a raw, feedback-drenched cry)*

**Final Chorus:**
***Jesus, Jesus—brand my lungs with grace!***
*Let my scars sing hallelujah to Your wounded face!*
*I’m the thief, the liar, the ghost You chose to claim,*
*So when You march through the ashes—***howl my name!***
***Remember me, remember me…***
*In the kingdom where the rebels walk free!*

**Outro:**
*(Whispered over fading chords)*
*“Today… today… paradise.”*
