《Song of Psyche》歌词

[00:00:24] Shall I tell a tale of love and of jealousy

[00:00:29] And of how a mortal found her own destiny

[00:00:34] Born a maiden of luminous beauty

[00:00:38] And revealed she was a flower so heavenly

[00:00:42] But by this admiration I'm doomed you see

[00:00:48] The smite of a goddess upon me

[00:00:56] Now I'm sent to wed one of dragon-breed

[00:00:59] Oh dear Venus I meant no impiety

[00:01:18] And so the girl was left alone on a mountaintop

[00:01:23] Until with gentle breath Zephyr she to a palace brought

[00:01:28] For the fates have dained not Venus's wishes wrought

[00:01:32] But instead that those famed arrows would share her heart

[00:01:38] We had happiness there but in secrecy

[00:01:41] In darkness we loved without need to see

[00:01:46] But convinced to unveil his identity

[00:01:50] Great winds betrayed flew fast away from me

[00:02:03] And so she wondered on the land searching far and wide

[00:02:07] While he lay sequestered by his indignant mother's side

[00:02:12] She prepared to face the implications of her desire

[00:02:16] Approached the gates where Habit seized her and made her cry

[00:02:21] Oh trouble and sorrow please leave me be

[00:02:25] Has your mistress no heart to bid me clemency

[00:02:30] I love her most sweetly and fervently

[00:02:35] 'Tis only of this I am guilty

[00:02:56] Then the goddess d**g her to a disordered heap of seeds

[00:03:00] Commanding before night the sorting task must be complete

[00:03:05] The mess of lentils corn and barley and poppy seeds

[00:03:10] Did loom impossible to weary and worn Psyche

[00:03:15] I stand overwhelmed with humility

[00:03:20] But hark underfoot earthborn you pity me

[00:03:23] Oh nimble nurselings rush to my need

[00:03:28] Dear brothers and sisters of humanity

[00:03:31] Took each grain by grain

[00:03:35] Made piles of the same

[00:03:40] The light of nature came to me

[00:03:45] Oh Myrmidons oh gentle beasts

[00:03:50] I asked you not still you saved me

[00:03:54] Such diligence grant me this lesson teach

[00:03:59] Now consciousness have I to keep

[00:04:33] But not enough this single victory

[00:04:38] Bid she was impossibilities

[00:04:47] To collect the golden fleece

[00:04:50] The waters from the cruellest peak

[00:04:53] And the beauty of Persephone

[00:05:12] These three more tasks completed she

[00:05:16] Afraid she was but never weak

[00:05:21] Then when cast in Stygian sleep

[00:05:25] Love flew and roused her from the deep

[00:05:30] Oh counsel above oh Jupiter

[00:05:35] You welcome me into your theatre

[00:05:39] With this golden goblet of ambrosia

[00:05:43] I'll cherish the lessons I've learned from the

[00:05:47] Tower and greenery

[00:05:51] And the royal bird's great beak

[00:05:56] The ants who rescued me

[00:06:00] Yes it takes strength to receive
