saltillo - gatekeepers lyrics

[male voice]
why are you standing here all alone in front of the
gates and moaning to yourself over your misfortune?

why are you standing here, alone, in front of the gates?

[male voice 2]
when the wars are done
the poet speaks with equal persuasiveness
on the wastes and misery that follow great conflicts
and pleads for tranquil times

[male voice 2]
two loves i have, of comfort and despair
which like two spirits do suggest me still
the better angel is a man right fair
the worser spirit a woman coloured ill

[male voice 3]
how many make the hour full complete;
how many hours bring about the day;
how many days will finish up the year;
how many years a mortal man may live
when this is known, then to divide the times:
so many hours must i contemplate;
so many hours must i sport myself;
so many days my ewes have been with young;
so many weeks ere the poor fools will ean:
so many years ere i shall shear the fleece:
so minutes, hours, days, months, and years
p-ss’d over to the end they were created
would bring white hairs unto a quiet grave
ah, what a life were this! how sweet! how lovely!
