The empty pale and the strings Oh when the knots are met The tied ending in fix The stayed execution And the penance, exacting Revenge of the hearts exchanged And again the well is taken Another must drink Savoring the empty talk Words cease and eyes raise From where they traveled None are to know Not one needs reveal it's origin Darkness and iron are soft Soft in hearing us Prepared to mask Earlier than dawn we retreat This consuming exertion How we fever and create residue The cup fills The residue is remorse we drink Constant and ancient Embrace reawakens the tissue Disassembled in riddle The dance plays upon the eave of the mind The want is sacred

Fever Creates Residue
The empty pale and the strings Oh when the knots are met The tied ending in fix The stayed execution And the penance, exacting Revenge of the hearts exchanged And again the well is taken Another must drink Savoring the empty talk Words cease and eyes raise From where they traveled None are to know Not one needs reveal it's origin Darkness and iron are soft Soft in hearing us Prepared to mask Earlier than dawn we retreat This consuming exertion How we fever and create residue The cup fills The residue is remorse we drink Constant and ancient Embrace reawakens the tissue Disassembled in riddle The dance plays upon the eave of the mind The want is sacred
