Letters

[imno1uknow]

With quill and silver knife
She carved a poison pen
Wrote to her lover's wife:
"Your husband's seed has fed my flesh."

As if a leper's face
That tainted letter graced
The wife with choke-stone throat
Ran to the day with tear-blind eyes.

Impaled on nails of ice
And raked with emerald fire
The wife with soul of snow
With steady hands begins to write:

"I'm still, I need no life
To serve on boys and men
What's mine was yours is dead
I take my leave of mortal flesh"

by King Crimson (Lyrics to The Letter)

It's advisable to let people know when you are quoting from lyrics just so that people know you didn't mean to make it look as if you wrote this yourself.

It's from King Crimson, just in case anyone wonders.

Thanks Tess. I was reading through and felt a familiarity with the words and now, I know why.

I've been duped.
Well done, King Crimson then.

I thought it seemed familair, but wasn't sure, so just kept quiet.
Thanks Tess for the info.

You can report the post or the poster... but sometimes it's best to do exactly as Tess and then hope the darn thing falls to the bottom. I'm going to click and report. Maybe a mod will remove the offending content.
