about

The third folktale is told of an ancient and powerful witch who must adopt a fair-seeming countenance in order to assimilate into her current world and entice her prey.

lyrics

It's time to come into mine
A nascent life
Plucked from the main vine
The sacred vein
Dim eyes don't open dull minds
To ancient light
I resurrect I
Ecstatic strain
Tonight
Prepare the black knife
The cryptic rite
I fill my mouth with lies
In hallowed pain

One wish, one desire
Adapt and convolute
Context, the frame of life,
I distort the absolute
No thought to wilting power
Maintain the cracked façade
Constructing veils and armor
To bind the words to truth
Regress, progress
Sucking marrow from old bones
Repress grievance
Hollow shells make easy homes
With feigning fragility I wear my wounds

Comply
Confirm the mirage
The cup of life
Is made to confine and fill with want
I worship the new might
The old religions died
Obscure to define the denouement

It's time to come into mine
A nascent life
Plucked from the main vine
The sacred vein
