Blade of Either/Or
"Make the voice very old and male, like a person in his 70s or 80s, wise, tired, even sombre, speaking from experience, seeing the end of his life."
I held the blade of either or
It cut me into two
I swore my life to both and peace
It split me through and through
I dropped the question in the well
It echoed back as mute
The silence was an ancient song
Too vast for me to truth
And what became of all my wars
My victories, my scars
They vanished in the open sky
That isn't mine or ours
It cut me into two
I swore my life to both and peace
It split me through and through
I dropped the question in the well
It echoed back as mute
The silence was an ancient song
Too vast for me to truth
And what became of all my wars
My victories, my scars
They vanished in the open sky
That isn't mine or ours
