When Mercia Withered into the Severn

Unarm the novices

And take aim for a better line

This treaty's provisions are built upon a

They'll stab my heart with an ice pick eventually

This day will

Break

Me

This treaty's provisions are built upon a promise that you made

The keeper of light is a friend of mine

Every word shot down like poison

The keeper of light is a friend of mine

My eyes often display vacant photographs

When this year breaks into a day

And your last words leave your mouth

You'll feel empty while your breath falls

Succumb to the gathering of my thoughts

Of my thoughts

This day will break me

This day has offered us a glimpse

(This makes us)

Of light to all of our dreams

(Walk away)

Before tomorrow's morning

(Dodge this night)

I'll have a good night's sleep for once in my damn life

(My dream will save us)

The keeper of light is a friend of mine

Every word shot down like poison

The keeper of light is a friend of mine

My eyes often display vacant photographs of you
