Life is Equal to Dust in The Balencer's Eye

Yes I know that love is like ghosts

Oh, few have seen it, but everybody talks

Spirits follow everywhere I go

Oh they sing all day and they haunt me in the night

Oh they sing all day and they haunt me in the night

Yes I know that love is like ghosts

Oh, and what ain't living can never really die

You don't want me baby please don't lie

Oh but if you're leaving, I gotta know why

I said if you're leaving, I gotta know why

Oh I sing all day and I love you through the night

But this evening I discovered that this song has two parts. The second part is called "Meet Me in the Woods" and is also super Witchery:

I took a little journey to the unknown

And I come back changed, I can feel it in my bones

I fucked with the forces that our eyes can't see

Now the darkness got a hold on me...

I have seen what the darkness does

(Say goodbye to who I was)

I ain't never been away so long

(Don't look back, them days are gone)

Follow me into the endless night

(I can bring your fears to life)

Show me yours and I'll show you mine

(Meet me in the woods tonight)

so one theory I’ve had for a while was the curse Schneider mentions in “Secret of Life”

In “Secret of Life”, the beginning starts out with:

“I sit alone in the dark and I try to remember the words you spoke when you summoned the Ender”

skip a few words-

“you chained my life to an ancient master

would the curse be reversed if I said it backwards?”

now, roll back a few tracks to “Ancient Names Pt 1” (they mention “ancient Master in the verse, so I thought it would be best to look here)

looking back at my chart, I theorized that the point of view was from Buck Vernon, but now I’m not completely sure, ‘cause who knows if Vernon’s even in this; I’m not even sure if this is from the W.E’s POV, which is Cobb Avery.

but whatever this is, someone is witnessing the summoning of the W.E.

here are the two stanzas I will reference from AN pt 1:

Far out past the astral plane

I cast you back from whence you came

Cosmic cache and blackened brain

And call you by your ancient names

–

If I can’t evade my fate

Then I won’t sit around and wait

A fallen star will be thy fate

And call you by your ancient names

These stanzas are the second stanzas in verses one and two.

after doing some re-arranging, I came up with a spell according to the directions provided in “Secret of Life”:

“I call you by your Ancient Names

a fallen star will be thy bane

I call you by your Ancient Names

Cosmic Ash and Blackened Brain

I cast you back from wence you came

I call you by your Ancient Names.”

notice anything? with the clipping of some lines, the stanzas are flipped backwards to make.. some sort of spell, it looks like.

that’s one of my many theories for Lord Huron’s music, I hope it’s not too.. bizzare or crazy, but if it makes some sense.. then good, haha.

let me know if this was interesting! thanks! standby for more, I guess.

“I stared right into the endless void And I ain’t going back if I got any choice I know how to live, I don’t know how to die And there ain’t no thrills in the afterlife“

Here’s the link to the song on YouTube for anyone who can’t reach the link to Spotify.
