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
