Birdking

Seidman sees through the eyes of Birdking
Smiles and takes his seat on the chamber's floor
Pulls up the shroud with the whitened taper
Matches the open flame and the serpent's door

Birdking carry the Truar's senses
Birdking carry the Truar's sight
Into the night

Seidman walks in the wake of Birdking
Cries and draws his blade from the empty sheath
Marries the two such with soundless beating
Carries the tooth and claw with the fire beneath

Birdking carry the Truar's senses
Birdking carry the Truar's sight
Into the night

Seidman talks in the voice of Birdking
Sighs and stretches his hand to the centre's shape
Walks 'neath the star with the purple quarter
Seals up the careless dream for the future's sake
