It's Still Life

Straight be their road and short,
Whose hearts
Lean into one
They ask, nor answer nought.

Ërusk gægnhőllir

About this better craving
This bleeding heart
This unsure knowing
This table round as it is long.

Ërusk gægnhőllir

Yet love
Be their reward, and
Straight be their roads and short.
