Utah County misfits The Delphic Quorum have been a band since 2009. Over the years they juggled around members almost as much as they do genres up until 2021. When they were finally able to unveil their long awaited occult masterpiece HISTORY - A PEOPLE'S TALE. Which is a mostly instrumental concept album depicting the morose account of former carny turned deranged killer Gidderick Muntz.
On this the only track on the album with any real lyrics, after 2 verses of what seems to be an instrumental, in THE THIEF we hear Judas' raspy voice scraping over the lap harp from first person perspective. Regaling Gidderick's hasty break into his baby momma's house to kidnap his only child and bring him back home.
Only his intentions are not to love and to nurture the child. But to butcher, bake, and devour him in an almost possessed psychotic stupor.

Lyrics:
I am the thief, deep in the night.
I have a seed, so I take flight.
After my seed, after my right.
I am the thief, so I take what I might.
I'm the intruder, so I intrude.
Into their home ,while they are subdued.
I'll have me my seed, o'er violent feud.
I'm the intruder, and so I intrude.
I am the butcher, so I make haste.
Not letting any of the meat go to waste,
No one can tell, if I'll be in hell.
Being the butcher, that needed the taste.
I am the baker, baking my seed.
Squeals from the oven, are all that I need.
To savor the smell, savor indeed.
I am the baker, and now I must feed!
I am the reaper, thus sew shall I.
In my own casket, I've made shall I lye.
I understand, that by my own hand.
I am the reaper, and now I must die...
