The Faustian Barter.

Your ages traded
with demons and gods,
the debts remain
do bear in mind.

Even if you tread
the earth like you own it,
it's only leaden feet
you drag behind.

It sounds like something the weird sisters might mutter now and again. And so, I really like it.
Also, Cranberries and condensed milk... no... they are more... corn puffs. You know, how Pearl Jam is Indian Style Lays?
(I am on blogger! I am on blogger! Yipee! After being done screwing my preb.s as bad as I did, no less.)

@Misanthropist : Thank you. It's embedded quite deep in.

@Aditya : Merci, monsieur.

@cutie : The online translation of that didn't make much sense. A translation would be great.

@Kirra Serra : Ahh yes. I can almost imagine the three witches in Macbeth. :)

You have a point. But my associations can be a little strange. Alanis is gin and tonic, while Aerosmith is black coffee.

@Srishti : :)
