To lay claim to
Declare a twinship with
By declaring to assume
And donning to become
(Disappear like bubbles on a tongue)

To plant a flag
To name a mountain
To name a child with a number
To give a woman your name
(Vanish like breath on a mirror)

To steal a birth outright
Push your borders back
To leave your succession unclear
Dark of heart, dark of mind
(Set the words too close to the music)
