The Hand that Signed the Paper

The Hand that Signed the Paper - Richard Burton[00:00:00]

The hand that signed the paper felled a city;[00:00:01]

Five sovereign fingers taxed the breath [00:00:05]

Doubled the globe of[00:00:09]

Dead and halved a country;[00:00:10]

These five kings did a king to death [00:00:13]

The mighty hand leads to a sloping shoulder [00:00:18]

The finger joints are cramped with chalk;[00:00:21]

A goose's quill has put an end to murder[00:00:24]

That put an end to talk [00:00:28]

The hand that signed the treaty bred a fever [00:00:32]

And famine grew and locusts came;[00:00:35]

Great is the hand that holds dominion over[00:00:38]

Man by a scribbled name [00:00:41]

The five kings count the dead but do not soften[00:00:45]

The crusted wound nor pat the brow;[00:00:48]

A hand rules pity as a hand rules heaven;[00:00:54]

Hands have no tears to flow[00:00:58]
