Rend forth the sky and
Rend forth the sea.
In earth’s depths lies my demise
As nature itself should cast me.
Cast me down to frigid lake
To fill my heart with bitter frost
Push me under until I wake
Or never do, and find the cost.
The cost of my greed and envy:
A tumultuous mind, my righteous end.
The Great Oak’s roots tangle and frenzy
As they grab hold and make me bend.
Make me bend and make me bow -
To keep a promise, to deny my pride -
To Heaven and Earth, as I once vowed
And in the spring, reflect upon my every lie.
Every lie I’ve whispered sweetly
Every tear I’ve wrung and bled.
Until my ghost is laid out cleanly
And no longer this waltz may I pretend.
So within your grasp I offer myself
To judge, to rend, to love, to quell.
To rend my skies and rend my sea,
As you, my love, should cast me.
