a place where witches don’t like to be after dark
I went anyway, with my cousin Glud
For he loves gruesome stuff, gore and blood

I was dressed ...

I would let him die

...I would see him die, rather than saving him.

I don't know what his life could be after he dies, or if he would be saved.

...

… do you love me, woman

We, who never knew how to exchange a true word,
We, who danced on the same tense wire,

The Omen Road

...
I rode my bike down Omen Road,  
Knew they'd be after me, I'd reap what I sowed.
