The God Who Walks by The Dark of the Moon

The God who Knows Nine Secret Things

1. one to a riddle no longer told

2. one from a letter with a name withhold

3. one in a pond in a park in the night

4. one untouched by hands or light

5. one from a grave when the coffins dug

6. one by a wink and a shrug

7. one in the garden where the serpents hiss

8. one from a loved one you're sure to miss,

9. and one by pure chance at the price of pure bliss
