Something

Something

Something cold

Something cold

Something old walks this way

Something cold

Something old

Something cold walks this way

Something black cracks something's back

And somethings black crack the red thing's back

Is the red thing cracked?

Is the black thing back?

But something old meets something cold

Something walks to the waters

I walk down to the waters

With my dogs by the river

With my dogs by the sea

I would never walk this forest

Without my dogs with me

Something cold

Something old

Something cold's walked to me

Something black broke the other thing's back

And something red was left for dead

But was he dead or was he dead or just looked dead?

Or was he red or black or red or just looked red?

And it's coming

Coming closer to eat me

Something black broke red thing's back

And something cold's coming to meet me

Coming to eat me

The mirrors are sick

I can't see anything

Coming from within it

My mirrors are diseased

Will someone mercurize them please

Vaporize them

Mercury

Vaporize them

Mercury

Vapor

Mercury

Mercury lurks in the way

Of the images

Scrying in the mirror

Mirror

Mirror

Scrying in the mirror

Mirror

Mirror

I'm scrying in this mirror

Mirror

Mirror

Angels warping me

Angels told me

They said

Diseased with my mirror

I'm diseased with my mirror

I'm displeased with my mirror

As it shows me

What I don't see

As I walk down to the sea

With my dogs with me

With my dogs with me

I would never walk this forest

Without my dogs with me

Walking to the sea

Where the horses are

Where the horses are

Where the man in the water

Stay in the water

Can I stay in the water?

If the water comes over me

Over me the water is flowing

Over me

Over me

Over me

Over me

May as well drown

In this beautiful sea

This beautiful sea

Now I see what was following

What was seen and what was following

Now I see what was following me

What I saw on the seashore

I will never say

What I saw there on the seashore

I will never say

What I saw there on the seashore

I will never say

What was there was sent to me

And it will never stay

It will never stay long

It will never stain me

It will sustain me

It will never stain me

It will sustain me

It will never stain me

It will never pain me

It will never claim me

Like the sea

Like the sea

Like the sea

Like the sea

Like the sea

I'd like the sea

Like the sea

Like the sea

I'd like it to claim me

Let it claim me

I let it claim me

Sea and the flames

Of the sea...
