The Letters

With quill and silver knife
She carved the poison pen
Wrote to her lover's wife
'Your husband's seed has fed my flesh'

As if a leper's face
That tainted letter graced
The wife with choke-stone throat
Ran to the day with tear-blind eyes

Impaled on nails of ice
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
And raked for emerald fire
The wife with soul of snow
With steady hand begins to write

'I'm still, I need no life
To serve on boys and men
What's mine was yours is dead
I take my leave of mortal flesh'
