lyrics

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
Your thoughts are embroiled in crime and in fire
Your past is a wolverine tracking your trail
Curses and promises come to nothing, you've failed.

Lipstick and hair dye are all that remain
Of some semblance of romance, and some sheets and a stain.
You never repented of the life that you made
As your feet slip and slide on this path that you laid.

Your guns they are broken and your lines have gone slack.
The woods in your backyard have burnt down to black

Yours is the most cursed, your lineage a wound
On the forehead of Cain lest you ever be found.
They hate you and hunt you to stamp out your name.
Your land is deserted and you are to blame.

Your guns they are broken and your lines have gone slack.
The woods in your backyard have burnt down to black.

Fecund, erudite, but bitter as cud
Festering, mouldering, black is your blood.
Loveliness, harmony, they are all lies.
You sat watching her leave from the other side of your eyes.
And as she gently closed the door behind her, something inside of you died.
