Dionysus - Ed Harcourt

Oh Dionysus

You drank here sovereign at the table again

You bring joy to the ones who love you

And then turn them all into your strength

Oh Dionysus

You lay all who possesses a past

Spread your seeds where the wind can blow it

Drink the blood from your father’s scar

Boy Dionysus

The ash comes when it comes

The strength is a tall order

Which exact not to stay done

Oh Dionysus

Stay in the Earth with all you’ve got

Your gods are dead and buried

But the skin of a woman’s soft

Always the dream of you and me

Oh poor Dionysus

You are more than you can have

But poor Dionysus

Hold your men, this is not alone

Didn’t amuse the christian people

And the damsels they come done

To death Dionysus

You stitch your head and heart

You never will wake in the war

When you overt yourself

Didn’t you know what the voice said so

Breaking into the window of a quiet night?

Didn’t you see, are you taking note

See to their hope might give them life

I know you want you want to help me

But I will be your salvation

Tearing into your beauty

Too lost for damnation

Always the dream of you and me

Oh poor Dionysus

You are more than you can have

But poor Dionysus
