COUPLET 1

Staring out from darkened corners,

A silent crew prowls in the gutters,

Like mangy rats seeking shelter,

Skinny bodies, hooded features,

Hollow eyes, gleaming embers,

Leering faces, pointing fingers,

Quiet rage, accusing whispers.

A woman calls, tall and slender,

Coiling muscles, crouching tiger,

Knowing grin, wicked laughter.

PRÉ-REFRAIN

The woman:

Hope to find your brother Miles?

Look through your conscience first.

The dead are unforgiving

But the living are the worst.

REFRAIN

The woman:

For every promise you betray,

Remember there’s a price to pay.

Some say you let your brother down,

Be wary not to go astray

Craving for the light of day

From the deepest reaches of your night,

COUPLET 2

Shiny coin in her fingers.

She says “This is yours to deliver.

It will lead you to your brother.

If you make it to the river,

Take a look into the waters

As you would in a mirror.”
