作词 : Hanson, Zeitlyn | |
Shall I tell a tale of love and of jealousy | |
And of how a mortal found her own destiny | |
Born a maiden of luminous beauty | |
And revealed she was a flower so heavenly | |
But by this admiration I'm doomed you see | |
The smite of a goddess upon me | |
Now I'm sent to wed one of dragon-breed | |
Oh dear Venus I meant no impiety | |
And so the girl was left alone on a mountaintop | |
Until with gentle breath Zephyr she to a palace brought | |
For the fates have dained not Venus's wishes wrought | |
But instead that those famed arrows would share her heart | |
We had happiness there but in secrecy | |
In darkness we loved without need to see | |
But convinced to unveil his identity | |
Great winds, betrayed, flew fast away from me | |
And so she wondered on the land searching far and wide | |
While he lay sequestered by his indignant mother's side | |
She prepared to face the implications of her desire | |
Approached the gates where Habit seized her and made her cry | |
Oh trouble and sorrow please leave me be | |
Has your mistress no heart to bid me clemency | |
I love her most sweetly and fervently | |
'Tis only of this I am guilty | |
Then the goddess drug her to a disordered heap of seeds | |
Commanding before night the sorting task must be complete | |
The mess of lentils, corn and barley and poppy seeds | |
Did loom impossible to weary and worn Psyche | |
I stand overwhelmed with humility | |
But hark underfoot, earthborn you pity me | |
Oh nimble nurselings rush to my need | |
Dear brothers and sisters of humanity | |
Took each grain by grain | |
Made piles of the same | |
The light of nature came to me | |
Oh Myrmidons oh gentle beasts | |
I asked you not, still you saved me | |
Such diligence grant me this lesson teach | |
Now consciousness have I to keep | |
But not enough this single victory | |
Bid she was impossibilities | |
To collect the golden fleece | |
The waters from the cruellest peak | |
And the beauty of Persephone | |
These three more tasks completed she | |
Afraid she was but never weak | |
Then when cast in Stygian sleep | |
Love flew and roused her from the deep | |
Oh counsel above, oh Jupiter | |
You welcome me into your theatre | |
With this golden goblet of ambrosia | |
I'll cherish the lessons I've learned from the | |
Tower and greenery | |
And the royal bird's great beak | |
The ants who rescued me | |
Yes it takes strength to receive |
