The Fine Print

Lyrics

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
I learned the law before I learned to pray
Inside a church where coin replaced the cross
My debts outlast the body in the grave
Every death is profit, never loss
My cane taps marble through cathedral halls
The Ghost Council presumes to rule from dust
But ghosts are just old signatures that linger
On contracts built on cruelty and trust

[Chorus]
Read the fine print, darling
Death was never free
Every soul that falls still serves me
Every grave still pays a fee
I'm the clause you overlooked
The debt you can't outrun
When you think you've paid in full
Darling, we've just begun

[Verse 2]
I sharpened twenty statutes into blades
Every loophole aimed at Grandfather's throne
He struck my title from me, stole my name
And left me chained in titles not my own
Too dangerous to free, too sharp to kill
I folded both my hands and waited still

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
They drove my cane straight through my chest
The thing that held me up became my end
I died the way the Orzhov die
One final debt of blood to spend
I stood beside my coffin at the funeral
And read the will I'd written all along

[Outro]
Now I am the council
Now I am the ghost
Patient at the center of the web
I am the fine print
