Verdelet Lyrics

Cover art for Verdelet lyrics by Akercocke

"Verdelet" is a term of the same punishment for a deed = arm for an arm, tooth for a tooth, just like the code of Hammurabi.

The lyrics here clearly detail a man who is punished for an absurd reason by zealots, only to return and exact revenge.

Oh, no! Never mind that. I was thinking of the concept of Lex Talionis, which is "eye for an eye, etc..." Sorry!
