lyrics

Section 1: The fleeing lovers embrace. The young man sings:

"Wrap your limbs around one bent and loving form,
Forming words from breath somehow
With matching abstract vowel sounds."

Section 2: They slip through tall grass as the army pursuing them camps for the night just over some hills. Telling the story much later, the man would say:

"By night we were focused on something else: running.
Great fires reflected off low clouds showed our way."

Section 3: They are discovered and chased.

Section 4: They are cornered and killed with cannons. I would tell the girl:

"(You) exploded into pieces is the last thing he sees!
One foot in the grave and one hand in your cold hand!"
