Lyrics for Swollen and Halo
The steel that sleeps the eye Needs nor tax nor toll The kings with men might lie Swollen and haloed Her sweetest skin burns! Now I've buried all the gold beneath my hide Now I'll swallow breath with blood Pole and anchor Stone and mitre God and beast and Wine and fish and bread and fish and man The virgin ground stains Now we've wandered through the polestar's dusty floe And my crown is breath and blood
