The Letters (Live in Vienna, 1 December 2016)

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
 With steady hands 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
