There’s a tide approaching
Far on the seas brooding horizon
And it’s tolling a debt
Born in a gamble a long time come
All in with tokens of fire & steel & horrid ambition
Choking the life out of rock and wind and sky
As you fall
From a cliffside precipice, scrambling, groping
Wondering just when the house called your old debts in
There’s a scream like a mob
Shrill on the waves, red on the breakers
Ready to claw at the rocks you will fall upon
There’s a cold and trying end to fallow
It’s a woeful ending cold & shallow
Upon the edge there gleams a penance and a strike to fallow
Out with the knives
They will cut at tendons taught & hallow
Vivisect as the night grows still
We'll be safe here for now
Deaf to your pleas
They will leave you shaking cold to wallow
We'll be safe here for now
Your penitent cries for nil
