Daemon Daeva
Intro:
We cry when our hearts become too full.
The tears escape through our eyes
Because our eyes are the windows to our soul;
Our souls are in our hearts.
Full of love, it overflows…
Soothing piano melody begins
V1:
“A star’s a star, though it burns in Hell.”
My child, my child, my silver bell.
Please don’t let those monsters come…
I gaze into a mirror darkly
Fearing what might emerge…
My drawers won’t close,
too full of crawling shadows
that sneak up on me when I’m doing fine.
My father scratches his head-
I fade away.
My mother wrings her hands-
I fade away.
I cannot face you, my dear,
I cannot face you, my friends.
My daemon keeps me on tenderhooks,
My daeva keeps me as prey.
Violin accompaniment joins
PC:
I am only a man, you see, you see,
I am only a man…
(x3)
C:
Go out, go out,
My daemon daeva, go out.
Guilt gumming up my mouth.
Come in, come in,
and let me sit awhile, let me begin
to spin a web, tell a tale,
wash my clothes in a watering pail.
It’s what we must do to stay awake
It’s what we must do to stay in our place.
Daemon, don’t come near...
B:
He is going where no one can follow
A place never seen before
But we will all get there
One day, one day…
It’s a place we all must visit
Not a place to stay.
O:
Beautiful body,
Beautiful heart,
Beautiful mind,
Beautiful soul,
These are all the things that make me whole...
