Horseman's Word

Secret society
True masters of the horse
Trainers, blacksmiths, and the ploughmen
Imbibing alcohol, they tell their jokes and sing
Mocking faith and known morality

Designing private oaths
Gestures and passwords

Initiation rites
A ceremony

Bread and whiskey
Take these pseudo sacraments

Hear my word, my call
Dark magic
I can tame them all

Hide your eyes and meet
Elder to inductee
When it's midnight it will all begin
Answer questions in a memory exchange
Parody of catechism

The backward song
Depraved

Sealed pact
Poled fur
Shaking hands with effigies

Horse witches
Power by whisper
Safe rituals

Techniques and full control
Trade knowledge kept within
Ensuring work and toll
The union skin

Careful and kind
Treatment of the animals
