Twice-Dead Cabal Lyrics

You will know us by our signs

Though you'll never see our features

It's just part of our grand design

We are by necessity secretive creatures

You'll learn of our presence through our words

As they come drifting out from the alley

But their meanings will be obscured

Until you are counted in our tally

You'll spy our workings in the dance

Of discarded wrappers caught in our eddy

But you won't give it a second glance

At least not until you're ready

You may sense the near intersection

Where our almost lives almost meet

But we know how to avoid detection

Though we walk the same streets

When the moment eventually comes

And you shed your borrowed skin

Follow the beating of our drums

As your initiation finally begins
