Bacchus

One, 
One two,
One two three four,
two three four,
two three four one.

Head back and sing.
Eyes shut and sing.
Fists clenched and sing.

You are as old as the earth.
You are the son of
the son of
the son of
the son of God.
They are as ants before you.

Head back and sing.
Fists swing and sing.
Blood flows and sing.

You are as strong as the bull.
You are pouring forth
and they are full.
You will drink your fill.

Head back and sing.
Chest out and sing.
Life fades and sing.

She took you to bed.
Her words were as honey.
You're wrong in your head.
This isn't right.

Lie with kin.
The baby cries.
Steep her in sin
and her words will humble him.

Take him and sing.
Stop them and sing.
Reborn a thing.

Head back and sing.
Eyes shut and sing.
Fists clenched and sing.

Slow them with song.
Their touch is wrong.
It is too late.

Bones break and sing.
Flesh fails and sing.
Soul wails and sing.

My Lord?
