Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Fortune wags its tongue
Along the walkways of the bathhouse
They say the monk returned from Iceland
Unearthly boon in stow
[Verse 2]
He who posses the Pin of Quib
Is granted eternal beauty
[Verse 3]
I am tired of men
Of kneading the knots from their bulbous backs and necks
And rinsing their filmy water
From this mew of tiles
[Verse 4]
When I heard tell of the Pin of Quib
Straight away I knew I had to hold it at all costs
[Verse 5]
A storm like a drum
Encompasses the priory
As I go on mouse toes
Into the blind man's chamber
[Verse 6]
And leaning over his bed
I push the blade between his ribs
But then in a flash, he's got my wrists
And he's pinned me to the floor
[Verse 7]
I wake gagged and bound
To a windless ochre forest
The monk's wan face inches from my own
His breathe smells like pears
[Verse 8]
He asked me then, would you like to see the pin?
Retching on his filth, I nod, more than anything
[Verse 9]
From inside his coat
He fishes a broach
A plain pea of stone
No bigger than a thumbnail
[Verse 10]
And I can hardly believe
How very ordinary it seems
Then it dawns on me
It was all mere folly
[Verse 11]
Yes, now you see, the pin's a pebble only
That which you so thirstily covered it over my dead body
[Verse 12]
Now it is yours to keep
You are its custodian
But first, I must have your eyes
Then the circle will be whole
[Verse 13]
I once
Could see
But now
I'm blind
[Verse 14]
And all sense
Of the world is
Lost
Lost
Lost
[Verse 15]
I once
Could see
But now
I'm blind
[Verse 16]
And all sense
Of the world is
Lost
Lost
Lost
