The hand that signed[00:00:00]
The paper felled a city;[00:00:02]
Five sovereign fingers[00:00:06]
Taxed the breath [00:00:08]
Doubled the globe of dead[00:00:10]
And halved a country;[00:00:13]
These five kings[00:00:16]
Did a king to death [00:00:19]
The mighty hand[00:00:23]
Leads to a sloping shoulder [00:00:25]
The finger joints[00:00:28]
Are cramped with chalk;[00:00:30]
A goose's quill[00:00:34]
Has put an end to murder[00:00:36]
That put an end to talk [00:00:40]
The hand that signed[00:00:44]
The treaty bred a fever [00:00:46]
And famine grew [00:00:49]
And locusts came;[00:00:51]
Great is the hand[00:00:54]
That holds dominion over[00:00:56]
Man by a scribbled name [00:00:59]
The five kings count the dead[00:01:04]
But do not soften[00:01:07]
The crusted wound nor pat the brow;[00:01:09]
A hand rules pity[00:01:15]
As a hand rules heaven;[00:01:18]
Hands have no tears to flow [00:01:22]
