howdy mr loveless. just caught up on silt verses for the first time (ty for putting me on btw) i saw you said that all the titles read together are a poem, is there anywhere this is complied? my stupid podcast app won't display the whole title for the longer ones

i don't know if it's compiled anywhere so i wrote it below for your convenience:

Let Me Speak First of Revelations

And Next of Dark Deceit

Then I'll Speak of Champions

Of Lovers, Gods and Beasts

My Song is Long and Twisted

It Winds, It Worms, It Wends

It Carries Few, It Drowns Many

And Those I Love, It Rends

My Song Has Taken Hold of Me

It Grips My Tongue, My Throat

My Voice Cries Truths I Never Knew

And To Fight Is Just To Choke

So Let Me Dwell Eternal

And In Ruined Flesh Ascend

For My Song Has No Beginning...

And The Current Flows On Without End

If I Could Trace With Bloodless Fingers

If My Hands Could Shape The Flow

I'd Bear This Song To The Precipice

And Rend Us Both To Dust Below

We'd Both Go Plunging Downwards

One Final Fall From Grace

I'd Howl, I'd Scream, In Victory

And We'd Be Gone Without A Trace

But We'll Never Be Rid Of Each Other

My Song, My Sorrow, And I

So I'll Bear It Trembling Onwards

To Drift On, To Dream, To Die

And Where My Final Footsteps Fall

Something Dreadfull Shall Arise

Its Gaze Shall Fall O'er Trembling Plains

Its Wrath Shall Scald The Sun

And Where Once Its Howling Forebears Walked

Some Day There Shall Be None

The Wise Man Knows The Taste Of Rot

All Lovers Part As Dust

And Even The Kings In Their Bowers Of Steel

Shall Wither In Ruin And Rust

This Rotten World Shall Wheeze Its Last

[Incomplete]
