Hi, I'm new to posting here but have lurked over the years and have loved Thief since the first one :)
The whole series has been a huge inspiration to me for lotsa art forms, including music...I recorded a song heavily inspired by Thief around 1999 when I was playing a lot of the first game (and Planescape: Torment :D).
It's called Dark Times:

Lyrics:
dark-age rimes for dark-grey times
rusted steel and grinding gear wheels
I see chimneys caked in soot
dirty snow crunches underfoot
sky is filled with carbon clouds
raining darkness on the crowds
machines unseen they hiss and hum
frigid night leaves my fingers numb

DOKKEN-STANDING IN THE SHADOWS
(Wooooo!! Yeah! Let's hear it for bad 80's hair-bands!)
He was a desparate man
They couldn't understand
He wanted more from life
It was his one device
Yeah, he fell tried and hung
When the lights were low
Yeah it was in his eyes
And it was no surprise
Through the streets at night
He's smiling like no other
As he paid again
Look to find another
Standing in the shadows
Watching the world go by
Standing in the shadows
He was looking
Looking for a place to hide
He felt this way before
And knew he wanted more
He knew the dawn would come
And he'd be on the run
But still they drove him on
Like a loaded gun
His time was running out
And he realized that he'd been here before
Like a scream in the night
For his crime they showed no pity
Even though they'd done the same
It's the way of life in the city
Standing in the shadows
Watching the world go by
Standing in the shadows
He was looking
Looking for a place to hide
Lock your doors
Standing in the shadows
Watching the world go by
He was standing in the shadows
Looking
Looking for a place
Standing in the shadows
He was standing in the shadows
Watching the world
Standing in the shadows
Standing in the shadows
He was standing in the shadows
Standing in the shadows
Standing in the shadows
*flicking my bic--achieving nothing*
