theatre of tragedy – and when he falleth lyrics
— “be my kin free fro varnal sin,
— bridle the thoughts of thy master.”
“there hath past away a glore fro the earth;
a glore that in the hearts and minds of men,
men dementéd – blindfoldéd by light,
hourisheth as weed in their well-groom’d garths.”
“might i too was blindfoldéd ere — “the quality of mercy and
absolution,
tho’ years have master’d me — whence cometh such qualities?
a masque of this to fashion: — build thyself a mirror in which
seer blest, thou best philosopher!” — solely wanton images of
thy desire appear!”
“’tis the divine comedy – — “’tis the divine tragedy –
the fool and the mocking court; — the fool and the mocking
court;
fool, kneel now, and ring thy bells! — fool, kneel now, and
ring thy bells!
we hold the earth fro heaven away.” — make us guffaw at thy
futile follies,
— yet for our blunders – oh, in shame;
— earth beareth no balm for mistakes –
— we hold the earth fro h-ll away.”
[dialog]
[male voice]
that cross you wear around your neck;
is it only a decoration, or are you a
true christian believer?
[female voice]
yes, i believe – truly
[male voice]
then i want you to remove it at once!
– and never to wear it within this castle
again!
do you know how a falcon is trained my dear?
her eyes are sown shut.
blinded temporarily she suffers the whims of
her god patiently, until her will is
submerged and she learns to serve –
as your god taught and blinded you with
crosses.
[female voice]
you had me take off my cross because it
offended…
[male voice]
it offended no-one. no – it simply appears
to me to be discourteous to… to wear
the symbol of a deity long dead.
[male voice]
my ancestors tried to find it. and to open
the door that seperates us from our creator.
[female voice]
but you need no doors to find god.
if you believe…
[male voice]
believe?! if you believe you are gullible.
can you look around this world and believe
in the goodness of a god who rules it?
famine, pestilence, war, disease and death!
they rule this world.
[female voice]
there is also love and life and hope.
[male voice]
very little hope i -ssure you.
no. if a god of love and life ever did
exist… he is long since dead.
someone… something rules in his place.
[end of dialog]
“believe? in a deily long dead? –
i would rather be a pagan suckléd in creeds outworn;
whith faärtytales fill’d up in head;
thoughts of the book stillborn.”
— “shadow of annoyance –
— ne’er come hither!
— …and when he falleth, he falleth like lucifer,
— ne’er to ascend again…”
