00:00:01.080 --> 00:00:03.900 align:middle line:84%
Now, the speaker forms
a Faustian contract

00:00:03.900 --> 00:00:06.180 align:middle line:84%
with the monster,
so this next poem

00:00:06.180 --> 00:00:09.605 align:middle line:90%
is a list of reasons for that.

00:00:09.605 --> 00:00:10.105 align:middle line:90%
"Seal."

00:00:10.105 --> 00:00:12.640 align:middle line:90%


00:00:12.640 --> 00:00:14.770 align:middle line:90%
Because it was he.

00:00:14.770 --> 00:00:18.400 align:middle line:84%
Because it was I. Because love
was the water course, limit,

00:00:18.400 --> 00:00:19.150 align:middle line:90%
and sign.

00:00:19.150 --> 00:00:22.750 align:middle line:84%
Because we love what we
love, when it brands us.

00:00:22.750 --> 00:00:25.780 align:middle line:90%
Because he covered my lack.

00:00:25.780 --> 00:00:29.350 align:middle line:84%
Because his blazon
seared my tongue.

00:00:29.350 --> 00:00:35.350 align:middle line:84%
Because no hunger, no shadow,
no trace, no mercy, no sleep.

00:00:35.350 --> 00:00:39.310 align:middle line:84%
Because the moon-raked
canyons of neon.

00:00:39.310 --> 00:00:43.210 align:middle line:90%
Because Tokyo-pulsed hydrangeas.

00:00:43.210 --> 00:00:45.700 align:middle line:84%
Because secrets
hinge on grimoires.

00:00:45.700 --> 00:00:49.030 align:middle line:90%
Unleash every weather.

00:00:49.030 --> 00:00:52.720 align:middle line:84%
Because no canticles
raise his name.

00:00:52.720 --> 00:00:55.240 align:middle line:84%
Because wings
loosened as marcasite.

00:00:55.240 --> 00:01:00.330 align:middle line:84%
Because birthright-- never to
be the hatchet, but the wood.

00:01:00.330 --> 00:01:02.000 align:middle line:90%
