[Verse 1] She reads the room like a map Faces split by the light Three came in laughing Left their coins in plain sight She ties up her hood And slips through the crowd Cold steel in her palm Death wrapped in a shroud [Pre-Chorus] Shadows lean closer When the lanterns dim She knows every lie That the rich keep in [Chorus] The rogue backstabs you The rogue backstabs you (backstabs you) Deep in the alleys Where the fools can’t breathe The rogue backstabs you The rogue backstabs you (backstabs you) One clean strike And your gold is retrieved [Verse 2] She finds their fire dying Spilt ale in a pool A knife by an empty purse And a passed out fool She hears them curse out loud Through the haze of the gin Then a blade wakes fast And one shadow gives in [Pre-Chorus] No mercy in the alleys No bargain in the stealth She marks them by their coins Then she steals their wealth [Chorus] The rogue backstabs you The rogue backstabs you (backstabs you) Deep in the alleys Where the fools can’t breathe The rogue backstabs you The rogue backstabs you (backstabs you) One clean strike And your gold is retrieved [Bridge] She’s not a ghost She’s the blade in the flame When the rich show their faces She remembers their names Coin by coin She pulls them apart Till the night goes still With a dagger in the heart [Final Chorus] The rogue backstabs you The rogue backstabs you (backstabs you) Deep in the alleys Where the fools can’t breathe The rogue backstabs you The rogue backstabs you (backstabs you) Quiet and sure Till your left destitute The rogue backstabs you The rogue backstabs you (backstabs you) If you flash your wealth She comes hunting for you
