Steel that sleeps with the morning star
Would that I could sin once more
Blades will sing over stone and field
That their song might grace our fall
Pallid limbs in the raven's thrall
Fracture sulfur honey skin
Waves are screaming Abrahan hymns
So that shoreline virgins cry
Reel in place
'Til the bastards take me away
Sober taste of the eyes
Would that I could sin once more
Blades will sing over stone and field
That their song might grace our fall
Pallid limbs in the raven's thrall
Fracture sulfur honey skin
Waves are screaming Abrahan hymns
So that shoreline virgins cry
Reel in place
'Til the bastards take me away
Sober taste of the eyes

The "steel that sleeps the eye" is the same as the "steel that sleeps with the morningstar" and the "blade" that sings "over stone and field", but what the "steel" is I don't know. It kind of sounds like -- OHHHH Ok I got it. It's about murdering someone, perhaps the "virgin" while drunk, and the "steel" (knife) makes the eye sleep, because it kills the girl. It has a very nice melody and harmony.
