Omen
I found a dirk barried point-first in garden dirt
Some like a curse left as a wish in deep earth
What's a dirk? Only a knife that can see in the dark
What's a dirk? Only a knife that can see in the dark

I found a dirk barried point-first in garden dirt
Some like a curse left as wish in deep earth
What's a dirk? Only a knife that can see in the dark

Layed in the hand the echo-poised of handle and blade
The hope and guilt of a bone halfed and a stone hilted
What's a dirk? Only a knife that can see in the dark

What's a dirk? Only a knife that can see in the dark
What's a dirk? Only a knife that can see in the dark
What's a dirk? Only a knife that can see in the dark
Stabbed thе earth to puncture along or piercе their heart
Was bad blood the meaning of this or was it love?

Let the record say love
Let the record say love
Let the record say love
Let the record say love

What's a dirk? Only a knife that can see in the dark
(Stabbed the earth to puncture along or pierce our heart
Was bad blood the meaning of this or was it love?)
What's a dirk? Only a knife that can see in the dark
(Let the record say love
Let the record say love)
What's a dirk? Only a knife that can see in the dark
(Let the record say love)
(What's a dirk? Only a knife that can see in the dark)
What's a dirk? Only a knife, Only a knife, Only a knife
