[00:31.876] [Verse 1]
[01:14.322] Fortune wags its tongue
[01:22.210] Along the walkways of the bathhouse
[01:30.302] They say the monk returned from Iceland
[01:38.633] Unearthly boon in stow
[01:46.962] He who possesses the Pin of Quib
[01:54.903] Is granted eternal beauty
[02:03.183]
[02:04.252] I am tired of men
[02:11.727] Of kneading the knots from their bulbous backs and necks
[02:19.648] And rinsing their filmy water
[02:28.386] From this mew of tiles
[02:36.192] When I heard tell of the Pin of Quib
[02:44.438] Straight away I knew I had to hold it at all costs
[02:54.966]
[03:11.630] [Verse 2]
[03:17.963] A storm like a drum
[03:22.447] Encompasses the priory
[03:26.739] As I go on mouse-toes
[03:31.330] Into the blind man's chamber
[03:35.501]
[03:35.748] And leaning over his bed
[03:39.584] I push the blade between his ribs
[03:43.871] But then in a flash he's got my wrists
[03:50.562] And he's pinned me to the floor
[03:57.065]
[04:31.209] [Verse 3]
[04:31.698] I wake up gagged and bound
[04:40.746] To a windless ochre forest
[04:48.087] The monk's wan face inches from my own
[04:56.201] His breath smells like piss
[05:02.313]
[05:04.565] He asked me then
[05:07.360] "would you like to see the Pin?"
[05:12.571] Retching on his filth
[05:17.098] I nod "more than anything"
[05:24.123]
[05:39.925] [Verse 4]
[05:46.192] From inside his coat
[05:51.023] He fishes a brooch
[05:55.460] A plain pea of stone
[06:00.373] No bigger than a thumbnail
[06:03.824]
[06:04.415] And I can hardly believe
[06:09.115] How very ordinary it seems
[06:15.653] Then it dawns on me
[06:20.357] It was all mere folly
[06:23.812]
[06:23.965] [Verse 5]
[06:24.095] "Yes, now you see
[06:28.125] The Pin's a pebble only
[06:32.253] That which you so thirstily
[06:36.591] Coveted over my dead body
[06:40.899]
[06:41.137] Now it is yours to keep
[06:44.997] You are its custodian
[06:49.071] But first I must have your eyes
[06:56.068] Then the circle will be whole"
[07:02.546]
[07:39.128] [Outro]
[08:45.841] I once
[08:49.248] Could see
[08:52.747] But now
[08:56.429] I am blind
[09:02.060]
[09:02.259] And all sense
[09:09.340] Of the world is lost
[09:18.621] Lost, lost
[09:27.618]
[10:01.452] I once
[10:04.825] Could see
[10:08.682] But now
[10:12.561] I am blind
[10:18.162]
[10:18.412] And all sense
[10:25.318] Of the world is lost
[10:34.941] Lost, lost
