Song of the Witches

Frank Cadogan Cowper: Venetian Ladies

Double, double toil and trouble;

Fire burn and caldron bubble.

Fillet of a fenny snake,

In the caldron boil and bake;

Eye of newt and toe of frog,

Wool of bat and tongue of dog,

Adder’s fork and bling-worms sting,

Lizard’s leg and howlet’s wing,

For a charm of powerful trouble,

Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.

Double, double toil and trouble;

Fire burn and caldron bubble.

Cool it with a baboon’s blood,

Then the charm is firm and good.

(William Shakespeare - Macbeth: IV.i 10-19; 35-38)

Live (to fight another day)

The Dying Gaul (Roman - Hellenic : Sculptor unknown)

I live by the sword
and never surrender
Die by the sword
and I don't give in
Now I must rise
and take the journey

Blood, sweat and tears
is what you will find
All these wasted years
in immortal sin
Angels of death
will always follow you

I must live to fight another day
I will see the light again
Now you must learn
how to burn

For eternity relentlessly
Oh, no!
The battle cries
or getting louder
Now it's time for you
to face the truth
There is no higher ground
For you to run to

Must sacrifice
Now it's all or nothing
You must lift the curse
Haunting you
Forever lost
but never found

I must live to fight another day
I will see the light again
Now you must learn
how to burn
For eternity relentlessly
Oh, no!

Y.J. Malmsteen: Live (to fight another day)

The thrill is gone

Herbert Draper: The evening hours

The thrill is gone
The thrill is gone away
The thrill is gone baby
The thrill is gone away
You know you done me wrong baby
And you'll be sorry someday

The thrill is gone
It's gone away from me
The thrill is gone baby
The thrill is gone away from me
Although I'll still live on
But so lonely I'll be

The thrill is gone
It's gone away for good
Oh, the thrill is gone baby
Baby its gone away for good
Someday I know I'll be over it all baby
Just like I know a man should

You know I'm free, free now baby
I'm free from your spell
I'm free, free now
I'm free from your spell
And now that it's over
All I can do is wish you well

B.B. King - The Thrill is gone

I saved the world today

Edward Burne Jones: Perseus rescuing Andromeda (The doom fulfilled)

Monday finds you like a bomb

That's been left ticking there too long,

You're Bleeding.

Some days, there's nothing left to learn

From the point of no return,

You're leaving.

Hey, Hey, I saved the world today...

Everybody's happy now,

The bad thing's gone away.

And everybody's happy now

The good thing's here to stay

Please let it stay.

There's a million mouths to feed

I got everything I need,

I'm breezing.

There's a hurting thing inside

And I've got everything to hide.

You're breathing.

Hey, Hey, I saved the world today...

And everybody's happy now,

The bad thing's gone away.

And everybody's happy now

The good thing's here to stay

Please let it stay.

Doo dee dooo dooo doooooo

The good thing...

Hey, Hey, I saved the world today...

Everybody's happy now,

The bad thing's gone away.

And everybody's happy now

The good thing's here to stay

Please let it stay.

Hey, Hey, I saved the world today...

(Everybody's happy now)

Everybody's happy now,

The bad thing's gone away.

(So happy now)

And everybody's happy now

The good thing's here to stay

Please let it stay.

(Eurythmics - I saved the world today)

Here it is...

William Russel Flint - Book of poems

"Hello my love,

and my love goodbye..."

Love triumphant

George Frederick Watts: Love triumphant

(Time and Death having travelled together through the ages, have run their course and are at length overthrown. Love alone arises on immortal wings, triumphantly, with outspread arms to the eternal skies.)

When evening falls

She'll run to me

Like whispered dreams

Your eyes can't see

Soft and warm

She'll touch my face

A bed of straw

Against the lace

We believed we'd catch the rainbow

Ride the wind to the sun

Sail away on ships of wonder

But life's not a wheel

With chains made of steel

So bless me

Come the dawn

Come the dawn

Come the dawn

Come the dawn

We believed we'd catch the rainbow

Ride the wind to the sun

And sail away on ships of wonder

But life's not a wheel

With chains made of steel

So bless me, oh bless me, bless me

Come the dawn

Come the dawn

Come the dawn

Come the dawn
