The weaker vessel secure under (the) grace of  God Matrimonial locks, skeleton key She (would) pursue  my gaze on her A dance within a masquerade The servants ransom culled and laid out From hereditary cornucopia  This dire desire for wealth             The lure of  a prosperous well ( I would vow) ”The disfigured child won’t die young The hearts of us all she has won But you must leave here…” Silent curtsy, tearful bliss ”God bless you” ”Carnal shame, a secret treaty The lovers bond” #opeth #RPM #thelastwillandtestament #reigningphoenixmusic
