LYRICS:
dare I dare you?

William, you have acted too much the stranger
It was only my message that brought you here
You have become, I think, too wise or too backward,
Inattentive, disagreeable…

I climbed the ground over there to the highest rise
And saw you
Clearly riding, whistling to your hounds
So I believe quite surely

William, you have acted too much… (too much)
William, you have clearly - you must have seen me, William
So why then when hearing me, seeing me
Did you not deign to come until I bade you?
Now attentive, unconvincing…

You climbed the ground over there to the highest rise
And met me
Clearly lying, whistling to your hounds
So I believe, William, quite surely

Anything is two things 
Anyone is two
William are you?

Anything is two things
Anyone is two

“Close the door, Temperance.”
dare I dare you? 
die, do…
