The Duelist |
| In the time it takes a handkerchief to fall to the ground |
| One of our lives will be over |
| Brocade waistcoat catches glints of morning light |
| Silk damask swathed in bottle green memories |
| We’ve traveled from station to station |
| We now approach our final destination |
| The only way to awake you was to slap your face |
| So stand up straight and let me take on final taste of you |
| Before we walk the agreed number of paces |
| And turn to face our fate |
| The coup de grace delivered so delicately |
| You always had such exquisite taste |
| Morning sky stretched tight as a drum |
| Tension released in an instant |
| Brocade waistcoat flecked with blood in the golden light |
| You were dead before you even hit the ground |
| We’ve traveled from station to station |
| We now approach our final destination |
| The only way to awake you was to slap your face |
| So stand up straight and let me take on final taste of you |
| And ice crystals always have six points |
| Though every one’s unique |
| They melt on the tongue and no one’s ever counted them all |
| But you’ve tried |
| You |
| You |
| So cool and calculated |
| A real cold fish |
| So measure this |
| So measure this |
