๐ Lyrics
With quill and silver knife
She carved a 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
And raked with emerald fire
The wife with soul of snow
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"
She carved a 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
And raked with emerald fire
The wife with soul of snow
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"
