Lyrics Dionysus - Ed Harcourt

Dionysus

Oh Dionysus
You drank here sovereign at the table again
You bring joy to the ones who love you
And then turn them all into your strength
Oh Dionysus
You lay all who possesses a past
Spread your seeds where the wind can blow it
Drink the blood from your father’s scar
Boy Dionysus
The ash comes when it comes
The strength is a tall order
Which exact not to stay done
Oh Dionysus
Stay in the Earth with all you’ve got
Your gods are dead and buried
But the skin of a woman’s soft
Always the dream of you and me
Oh poor Dionysus
You are more than you can have
But poor Dionysus
Hold your men, this is not alone
Didn’t amuse the christian people
And the damsels they come done
To death Dionysus
You stitch your head and heart
You never will wake in the war
When you overt yourself
Didn’t you know what the voice said so
Breaking into the window of a quiet night?
Didn’t you see, are you taking note
See to their hope might give them life
I know you want you want to help me
But I will be your salvation
Tearing into your beauty
Too lost for damnation
Always the dream of you and me
Oh poor Dionysus
You are more than you can have
But poor Dionysus
