The Duchess and Me
A common old thief
A stop on my way
Scaling the side of a palace so great
I dodged all on guard
Steadied my breath
And through a window I let myself in
Dressed like a shadow
I wandered the halls
Pocketing treasures the greatest of all
I stood in the ballroom
Conquered the throne
That's when I saw her standing alone
And I saw my soul in the eyes of a Romanov duchess
As we danced to the silence of certainty
Bless these sinful hands as they gift hopefulness to a Russian
One last somber night of revelry
The duchess and me
How fearless she was
Like I was a ghost
Only a guest now to a crumbling host
We danced through the halls
No words were said
Committed to memory were the tears never shed
A common old thief
A stop on my way
The beautiful duchess who danced like a flame
And for those moments
No status or war
Just two survivors dying for more
A stop on my way
Scaling the side of a palace so great
I dodged all on guard
Steadied my breath
And through a window I let myself in
Dressed like a shadow
I wandered the halls
Pocketing treasures the greatest of all
I stood in the ballroom
Conquered the throne
That's when I saw her standing alone
And I saw my soul in the eyes of a Romanov duchess
As we danced to the silence of certainty
Bless these sinful hands as they gift hopefulness to a Russian
One last somber night of revelry
The duchess and me
How fearless she was
Like I was a ghost
Only a guest now to a crumbling host
We danced through the halls
No words were said
Committed to memory were the tears never shed
A common old thief
A stop on my way
The beautiful duchess who danced like a flame
And for those moments
No status or war
Just two survivors dying for more
