lyrics

Dust to dust, portrait or bust
We find all kinds of desperate ways
To capture youth with paint or clay
While breath by breath we fade away

Sister time she bends the spine
With gentle hands, and gentle smile
She turns the dial, while all the while
She eyes a plot and sorts a pile.

Mis-en-scene, push play, pretend
Repent, resent, sweet opulence
The she-wolf brings such heaviness
And pants with labored, savage breath

I woke up somewhere in-between
Within a wood more black than green
Such wails and sighs from yonder trees
Had they been human once, like me?

And here a sign, etched cold and clear
“Abandon hope, who enter here”
The Primal Love that casts out fear
Has ways so strange, nay, so severe!

O, lasso! O, lasso!

Shadowlands, broad Sculptor hands
Minerva breathes, and losing Me
You tempt the deep, the ruse called sleep
And pass the Muses on the sea.

The souls of those who weakly praised
Who never damned nor banner raised
The ones who never claimed a side
Are tossed within their spineless tide

Their dumbness on the part of love
Has sewn their mouths with wire shut
The ones who envy others joys
Who sowed discord with word and loins

O, lasso! O, lasso!
