Said the Thief to the Moon "I'll extinguish your light soon I'll put an end to all the light that you shed On this world in its darkened state" Said the Moon to the Thief "You know not of what you seek You'll doom the world to wander the night With no light to guide the paths that men seek" "Oh, but all the wealth in the world will be mine Without a means of defense for all those blind My very existence is a race to attain wealth For the thief's only loyalty's in life is to the devil and himself" "The earth will rise up and devour all that you are The skies call forth thunderous storms from afar When you're dead there will be no grave to remember your name For your greed brings your end and there's no one but yourself to blame"
I always see what the thief receive like mercy, because no one will remember of him, not even your name, but also your crimes and sins, all that he did will be erased
When the light is gone the moon nor thief will be remembered. Will be mine meaning I own its memory in its destruction for myself only.i am a devil that controls the memory of what I destroyed because I destroyed it completely.
My goodness, Shadows will always be my favorite album and The Dark and The Light right behind it. This was my favorite song for a long time. My depiction was the thief sitting on a rock in the middle of a lake staring at the moon and its reflection.
You did the damn thing on this track! Well done bub! Love how you let that amazing voice carry the song and not drowned it out with extra notes from the instruments played! Bravo🌹👏🏾
Já que são Paulo tá no top 1 de ouvintes dessa lenda no spotify, vou é escrever em português mesmo. Nunca achei alguém que expresse tão bem os próprios sentimentos no folk quanto Shawn James. O jeito que ele dedilha, o casamento da voz, da melodia, das palavras e do ritmo é surreal. Parece que literalmente ele ligou o bluetooth do coração dele e tá transmitindo os sentimentos pra mim. Não me canso de ouvir esse artista, especialmente essa música e The Guardian. Simplesmente sensacional.
Then the whole world will know tiss a true story 😂 the writer remains to tell the true story but nobody knew who it'd be for thy who sees them before thy show themself is innocent and worthy...
I'm in love with your voice, I hope one day I'll have the chance to listen to you live. It's been 5 years and since then your songs have had a huge impact and contribution to the person I am now. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. 🖤
" my very existence is a race to obtain wealth" That line hits me the most out of all of them. This song, perfectly encapsulates the horror of late-end stage capitalism, and what it is doing to our society.
I've always wanted to talk to you about this, I've been writing stories since I was a child and when I heard your music it fit perfectly into the story of my two main gods. The god of the moon and greed and the god of power and justice is like a conversation between the two gods, one criticizing the other. When I found this song I left celebrating. I think your fairy tale hit for a moment with my story lol
I've waited So long for you to complete this Masterpiece and I am so happy I saw it today. You're one of my favourite artists. Keep up this beautiful talent of yours.
DAMN YOU SHAWN! I can never hear my misheard lyrics again, now that I know the actual ones 😅 Edit: wait a min, at least one of the written lyrics are clearly not what's spoken. Can you spot it? 😛

Wow, I kind of imagined such a clip in my head, listening to the "Shadows" playlist day after day with the first release of the last of us trailer. I was hooked by the talent of Shawn James, I even built a cottage with shapeshifter music. Well, in general, I wanted to make a video for this music in a theatrical form, but unfortunately I am not an artist and it would take a lot of time, and fortunately James has the same thoughts with me that he gave us the clip I dreamed of!!
"MINIONS! TONIGHT WE'LL STEAL THE MOON!"
😂
"Banana!"
- Shakespeare
I just watched the rise of gru a few hours ago this is perfect timing
kkkkk this cath me
I was about to say “plot twist: this song is about despicable me.” Lmao. But you beat me to the punch.
Bro the moon was spitting facts on this one damn
Moon cooked the shit outta the thief
Always will.
Said the Thief to the Moon
"I'll extinguish your light soon
I'll put an end to all the light that you shed
On this world in its darkened state"
Said the Moon to the Thief
"You know not of what you seek
You'll doom the world to wander the night
With no light to guide the paths that men seek"
"Oh, but all the wealth in the world will be mine
Without a means of defense for all those blind
My very existence is a race to attain wealth
For the thief's only loyalty's in life is to the devil and himself"
"The earth will rise up and devour all that you are
The skies call forth thunderous storms from afar
When you're dead there will be no grave to remember your name
For your greed brings your end and there's no one but yourself to blame"
As much as I love the visuals too, thank you sm♡
For the thief's only loyalty's in life is to the devil and himself
Love that line
It ain't wrong. Everyone who the thief ever cares for abandons him when they discover the thieving
I always see what the thief receive like mercy, because no one will remember of him, not even your name, but also your crimes and sins, all that he did will be erased
Shall will you, when he sleeps you will sleep too
Man shut up!
Deez Nutz shall remember thy chin
When the light is gone the moon nor thief will be remembered. Will be mine meaning I own its memory in its destruction for myself only.i am a devil that controls the memory of what I destroyed because I destroyed it completely.
English translation please?

Wow, great work. I always wondered how the story of the thief and the moon would be illustrated.
Then the whole world will know tiss a true story 😂 the writer remains to tell the true story but nobody knew who it'd be for thy who sees them before thy show themself is innocent and worthy...
There is a few animatics up people made! They're not by the Shawn James but still cool☺️. It's actually how I found the song! 😅
I'm in love with your voice, I hope one day I'll have the chance to listen to you live. It's been 5 years and since then your songs have had a huge impact and contribution to the person I am now. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. 🖤
This is just one of your many great songs, Shawn. Thanks for making some of the best music I've ever heard.
" my very existence is a race to obtain wealth"
That line hits me the most out of all of them. This song, perfectly encapsulates the horror of late-end stage capitalism, and what it is doing to our society.
Wish me luck, tomorrow I'll sing this song to a girl
How did it go?
Maybe it went well.
we have to know how it went, you can't give us a cliffhanger like this
We must know
Guys I didn't yet, but I have better news, I will meet her and I'll do it in person, which is way better than online :)
Una canción que te hace pensar! Gracias mi alma! 💕

Nunca vou me cansar de ouvir esse homão
my head canon is the thief suceeded in extinguishing the moon, and immediately tripped and broke his neck, undoing it with his death.
My god I had forgotten this mastermind of an artist!
Finally RUclips recommended something good!
Omg!! This is truly amazing and sooooo true.
I’ve been listening to this song for years. It’s so wonderful to see it finally getting some proper love ❤
Oh my Lord, this hits as hard as the first time I heard it. Love it!
Sos un gran artista! Mucha admiración por el trabajo q haces!! Saludos desde Argentina! Esperamos volver a verlos pronto!!! ❤
Holy shit.....the CHILLS. You have a beautiful voice, wow! 🥰😳🥺🙈💖
Looove this! Whoever’s creating these vids to go with your incredible music is doing a superb job.
The artist's name is Lewis Gaston but I can only really find a tatoo artist under that name and I don't think that's him.
What a wonderful song, thank you so much for this gift.
Very good song, 10/10. You should do songs more like this! Keep it up and have a good day!
Your songs give voice to the musings my soul couldn't find the words to express.
I have no words that can describe how much I love this song, and now I have a video to love it as well. I feel inspired by your music, thanks sir.
This song reminds me of the book series The Kingkiller Chronicle
There's a story about a man named Iax/Jax stealing the moon with his music.
My favorite song by you! Such a great song!
I cant wait to see Shawn in October!!
I've waited So long for you to complete this Masterpiece and I am so happy I saw it today. You're one of my favourite artists. Keep up this beautiful talent of yours.
Gorgeous and deep. 💜🌙
The only artist which songs I like before listening to.
Soul tingling, soul deep, sombre music🎸🌙
Love to see this. My favorite Shawn James song.
One of my favorite Classics of yours ! Well done!
Gorgeous and affecting. Great stuff.
Nice work and fantastic lyrics. As a fan from Madrid, who really enjoyed your last concert in Madrid on May 2022. Keep it rolling 🤘🏻
An absolute masterpiece. Don't ever stop, I beg you!
Masterpiece
Shawn James is an absolute goat. Love all of his music!
Brilliant!
this is the song that introduced me to Mr.James, and I knew immediately this man makes special music
One of my favorite songs by you. Glad to see it brought back.
Incrível.. essa musica é linda!
Genius! You somehow always make music that I resonate with and is the frequency of my feeling, emotions and mood with a taste of spirits
ohhhhhhhh sometimes yt just recomends you exactly what you need. damn.
Thanks for this video, it's my favorite song and it turned out great. Greetings from Argentina
Song is beyond perfection...
This was always one of my favorite songs and loved seeing you play it live in Asheville, this was a beautiful video!
Do you know anymore songs like this?
@@f2pcoder92 Check out eye for an eye on his album the hawk. I also like his acoustic versions of burn the witch and curse of the fold
Beautiful ❤️
Thanks! You seem to be a great fan, where are you from?
DAMN YOU SHAWN!
I can never hear my misheard lyrics again, now that I know the actual ones 😅
Edit: wait a min, at least one of the written lyrics are clearly not what's spoken. Can you spot it? 😛
Hahaha you made me rewatch! Loyalties instead of Loyalty. Easter egg!

@@realshawnjamesmusic Hey Mate, thank you 😊 from Australia ❤️
Beautiful song🙇🏻♂️✨
When your fight is to steal the sun . So that those who worship it weep.....
I think shawn James & Dallas Green should do a collaboration.....my god that would be insane
Like a thief in the night always comes unexpectedly
Se siente aun más la canción con el video, excelente
Great work as always.
An eye for an eye makes the world blind
I wish this beautiful song had another verse. It seems over so very soon.
the first thought in my brain whenever I read the title of this song is gru in his lil pink astronaut suit.
Amazing!
Fantastic song and artwork, you're great.
Very cool the vid and the song is awesome❤
When you have this lone wolf soul,and you enjoying the full moon, the lyrics can be meaningfull in fantasy way
Wow!
Appreciate the love dear fan. You seem to be a great fan, where are you from Sarah?
Favorite and first song I learned from you. Inspired me to buy an acoustic
Man this is cool as hell
This song was featured on KXCI 91.3 in Tucson
A classic!
I love this so much
Found this by accident, this was beautiful to listen too
You are absolutely amazing.
great work 🥲
It reminds me of Gru in "Despicable Me". The bald man Gru who wants to steal the moon.
Wow, awesomeness ❤❤❤

Incredible.
Thank you.

Isso tá muito incrível
Simplemente sublime, me recordó un montón a la historia del niño que robo a la luna de kkc
So much talent
“Ever danced with the Devil in the pale moonlight”?
“No. I beat him in a fiddling contest, and humbled him. Taking his violin”.
Fav song of his, how I found him years ago.
