She opened her doors, opened her dams
Openings gleamt like gold, gleamt in the sun
"After those times often we have seen men dancing in the swamps"
There was no home, no home to return to
the warmth inside, the warmth inside a maid
"At the meadow appears the ages-dead, bears a cup of darkness"
Tome of flesh!
Take the keys from the snake, take the will to live from him
Numbers and secrets take from him and bury him to the ground
The Beast hath not avenged, not the wrath of the lover
Looked not with grace, looked through the star
"On the Day of Holies the walls weep with seawater"
Sweat you to the end this sauna, blessed of the outer demons, speakers of the devils, preacher that was castrated!
"A girl stillborn shall tomorrow be found from the forest"
Tome of flesh!
