Lyrics
All was still when I broke the seal In dwindling winter morning shades I knew a ransom must be paid out
Apostasy, a curse on me? The weaker vessel secure the grace of God Matrimonial locks, skeleton key
She pursue my gaze on her A dance within a masquerade The servants ransom culled and laid out From hereditary cornucopia (hereditary cornucopia)
This dire desire for wealth The lure of a prosperous well
The disfigured child won't die young The hearts of us all she has won But you must leave here, ooh
Silent curtsy, tearful bliss (Bless you, ooh) Carnal shame, a secret treaty The lovers bond
