No Oath, No Spell

An old crow spoke to me
Must have lain limp down the street
Said we're both tied to our own trees
Cut me loose, cut me loose

Saw the deer before it saw me
It didn't change anything
His glassy eyes showed me what's to come
Cut me loose, spare me from this

Little beast, are you as me?
Left some teeth in your enemies
We won't be broken
There's no curse we haven't spoken
There is no oath, there is no spell
To deliver us, to make us well

Old woman, tell me why did you lie so long
In your hospital bed with the spark gone from your eyes?
We both know there's nowhere to go
Let's cast off, you and I

Oh, grief, are you as me?
Left some teeth buried in your enemies
We won't be broken
Theres no curse we haven't spoken
There is no oath, there is no spell
To deliver us, so help

Cut me loose, I wish you well
No oath, no spell
No prayer and no hell but the one we made
Let's cast off, turn tail
