Tangle of tongues unpaved
Leer with mocking, wasted thrusts
Aborted suggestions behind a surface
Monstrous past made public

Unpeopled island ignorance
Spoken in straw man oath
A persistent presence in the burning house
Flitting un-sober chambers

Yield and remain
Intricate, crooked authority
(Yield and remain)
Intricate, crooked authority
(Yield and remain)

Intricate, crooked authority
(Yield and remain)
Intricate, crooked authority
(Yield and remain)
