A binding curse whispered over melodic techno, written in the voice of the spells the Salem accusers claimed to have heard. Guland is the cursed man, a name found in an old book while the song was being written. He is bound by ash, air, salt and moon until his body, his fortune and everything he is lies cracked and torn.
The line
"By name once called, thou now art sworn — / Till all he is lies cracked and torn."
Lyrics

O Guland, hear — by ash and air,
Unmake his flesh, his fortune tear.
Before thy gate, thy breath I bind,
By salt and moon, thy fate I wind;
Let vigor fail and marrow ache,
Let gold to dust and rot awake;
By name once called, thou now art sworn —
Till all he is lies cracked and torn.

O Guland, hear — by ash and air,
Unmake his flesh, his fortune tear.
Before thy gate, thy breath I bind,
By salt and moon, thy fate I wind;
Let vigor fail and marrow ache,
Let gold to dust and rot awake;
By name once called, thou now art sworn —
Till all he is lies cracked and torn.

O Guland, hear — by ash and air,
Unmake his flesh, his fortune tear.
O Guland, hear —
by ash and air,
Unmake his flesh,
his fortune tear.

O Guland, hear —
O Guland, hear —

O Guland, hear — by ash and air,
Unmake his flesh, his fortune tear.
Before thy gate, thy breath I bind,
By salt and moon, thy fate I wind;
Let vigor fail and marrow ache,
Let gold to dust and rot awake;
By name once called, thou now art sworn —
Till all he is lies cracked and torn.
