Abracadaver

You must tell me how you've done it, what is it you know
Surely you possess some secret, you can tell me, let it go
I too dabble in the arts, I know there's a code
Loyalty must play a part, must be loyal to the oath

There are things you shouldn't tinker with
Knots that are meant to stay tied
So if the fire isn't flickering
And it feels like you died

I'll be the first to congratulate you, that was the hardest part
You know you can never write it down, you must know it by heart

You know the numbers and you know what they all mean
You know the answers always hidden somewhere in between
Manipulate the gears till they're to your liking
Cloak yourself in darkness till you're ready to be seen

There are things you shouldn't tinker with
Knots that are meant to stay tied
So if the fire isn't flickering
And it feels like you died

Now it's time you reap the benefits
Of your sacrifice and toil
Just as soon as we disinter you
From the soil
