lyrics

a few short lines, and the luck of the draw
we cling to him still, but it's time to ride on
he was already lost, somewhere back in the fall
but this is not news, it is what we all know

haven't you heard? those were the last days of the house of 10000 terms
those, her sweet parting words: take no prisoners!!!

i'll admit, timing was never my strength
we go back and forth, and she curses and spits
oh, that ill-tempered girl, bet she curses the day
she's saved it for me, a debt yet left unpaid

haven't you heard? they're leaving this morning, the rest of them leave on the third
the insurmountable debt i've incurred, to be left unreturned

hot halcyon days with his scent in the air
you're bound still to distinguish, you judge without care
and i'm sorry, i'm sorry, for what have i done?
made solid the end we knew was there all along

heavens proclaim! those were the last of the house of 10,000 names
and me at the end of my chain, well, i walked away

but it's over, my love, it's over, and you can go home
cast off the dross that comes shrieking and shaking her chains
does she whisper my name?
does she say i'm to blame?
