about
I wrote this song as a tribute to one of my favorite authors. Kudos if you can guess what it's about!
lyrics
Verse 1:
For every crack of the whip and every toll of the bell
Another body falls down the Riddle well
I've got Nazis on my left, Eaters on my right
You know they look the same by my reading light
CHORUS:
I've got seven years to avenge my family name
I've got seven years to win a losing game
I've got seven years of unforgivable ways
I've got seven years to arrange my dying day
Verse 2:
I'm digging my own grave, I'm severing the ties
The Rector gave me tools to crush souls and turn out lights
But the Syllabary can't help me understand her flaming hair
Or how her sweet lips take me far from anywhere
CHORUS
Bridge:
Now the darkness swallows up every single point of light
That might blur the differential in mud or pure, black and white
And the muse is in my ear, she's sweetly whispering
That I should put the book down, grab a mic and sing
CHORUS
