Stranger than the comet as it streaks across the sky

A plague of wonders, on your knees beside me

Know the secrets, you shall not deride us

My dreams of empire from my frozen queen

Even as I looked into the glass then I was blinded

You have taken up my wife and lain beside her

Now the black rain on my house, the timbers burning
