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 under (the) grace of Β God
Matrimonial locks, skeleton key

She (would) pursue Β my gaze on her
A dance within a masquerade
The servants ransom culled and laid out

From hereditary cornucopiaΒ 

This dire desire for wealth Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β 
The lure ofΒ  a prosperous well

( I would vow)
”The disfigured child won’t die young
The hearts of us all she has won
But you must leave here…”

Silent curtsy, tearful bliss
”God bless you”
”Carnal shame, a secret treaty
The lovers bond”
