Hexbreaker

I have been walking where I shouldn't
See here? My feet are covered in dust
Someone is working against me
I can feel the needle
Stitching up
Stitching up
Pull the threads tight
Seven times seven knots
See? This is why the thoughts repeat
This is why I cannot rest
My name crossed and counter crossed
Laced and locked
Bottled and buried
Like iron nails driven into the earth

Hexbreaker
Purify me in salt and water
Let it wash over me like tears and rain
Take this and bind it
Cut hair and torn clothing
This is your name
This is your coffin
This is your undoing

Hexbreaker
Take this from me
My crossed condition
My blocked road
Send it back
Send it reeling
Glinting like sunlight off a mirror shard
To blind my enemy's eye
Like a just arrow
