The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I shivered

in the warmth of their god

Yet this mansion

is haunted by romance

His servants heal my scars

Anointing me with oil

I am naked and silk on this eve

His body will cradle his brides'

in frailty as I await his kiss

mortality ebbs from me

The pendulum swings

Twelve times it rings

On this night

I sleep with the emperor
