stephen sondheim - hymn to dionysos (reprise) lyrics
[shakespeare]
[to pluto]
farewell, my liege. now no way can i stray save back to earth
[to dionysos]
i pray you lead the way
[ariadne]
dionysos
dionysos
dionysos
bring the sound of poets
in a blaze of words to a heedless earth
evoe!
alalai! alalai!
evoe!
alalalalalalai!
[dionysians]
dionysos
bring the taste of wisdom
in a feast of words to a hungry earth
evoe!
alalai! alalai!
evoe!
alalalalalalai!
dionysos
bring the taste of words
bring the sounds of wit
bring a sense of purpose
bring the feel of p-ssion
bring the glow of thought
to a darkening earth
evoe!
alalai! alalai!
evoe!
alalalalalalalalai!
evoe!
alalai! alalai!
evoe!
alalalalalalai!
[dionysos]
the frogs are quiet tonight
[charon]
maybe you scared them off
[dionysos]
i doubt that
[charon]
say, isn’t that william shakespeare?
[dionysos]
why yes, it is
[charon]
the ride’s on me
[dionysos]
thank you, charon
[to shakespeare, stage whisper]
say something
[shakespeare]
taffeta phrases, silken terms precise, three-piled hyperbole?
[dionysos]
well…
[shakespeare]
remember, sir, words are not deeds
[dionysos]
yet do they ease the heart
[shakespeare]
aye sir, yet a new beginning calls for a new play
the weight of this sad time we must obey
speak what we feel, not what we ought to say
[dionysos]
yes, speak what we feel
[to the audience]
dare i say it — what have we learned?
we must partic-p-te or prepare to be burned
frogs will be frogs and life’s for the living
man must use his brain or there’ll be much misgiving
i’ve taken a chance, i’ve brought back a poet
let’s take charge of the world before it’s gone as we know it
