A year sought for warmth and light I wrapped sheets around my eyes Breathed new sight into my mind A strength I will belie Entangled in your virgin dust Rope tied vein to vein Connect me to your failing body So I can understand your pain Encase me in your ribs I'll breathe through your hollowed spine I've forgotten the warmth of the sun But I still remember the light My peasant crown will crumble Under the weight of your crooked bones My peasant skin will scar and bleed As I am martyred alone My peasant blood will clot and burst As you enter my solemn home My peasant crown will crumble Under the weight of your crooked bones
