The Mute Girl Speaks

Hosanna! Halleluyah! Raise the evensong!
Hosanna! Halleluyah! Raise the evensong!
Hosanna! Halleluyah! Raise the evensong!
Come sing through the dark to the day!

Behind the hill there rolled a sea
The sea of gulls! The sea of seas!
Each hour there rang a distant clock
and by the sea - a rotting dock.

On the dock there was a girl
whose mouth was filled with fire and pearl
and for every pearl that fell
there fell somewhere another girl.

Come girl and sing! Lilt a dittle lilt a dee!
The mute girl speaks! Lilt a dittle lilt a dee!

Hosanna! Halleluyah! Raise the evensong!
Hosanna! Halleluyah! Raise the evensong!
Hosanna! Halleluyah! Raise the evensong!
Come sing through the dark to the day!

By her side her mortal wife
who turned against her flank a knife.
For every cut she cut a year
and added it upon her life.

and on her breast a fox cub sat
who wouldn't let her breath a bit
the fox cub pounced to press her chest
and feed upon her fiery spit.

Come girl and sing! Lilt a dittle lilt a dee!
The mute girl speaks! Lilt a dittle lilt a dee!

Hosanna! Halleluyah! Raise the evensong!
Hosanna! Halleluyah! Raise the evensong!
Hosanna! Halleluyah! Raise the evensong!
Come sing through the dark to the day!

And in her neck there crept a snake
that moved her mouth as if awake
and people come to watch her words
gifting her with fish-oil cake.

The people beat their swollen brows
and hold her words as solemn vows!
The people breed and as they die
their children crawl from out their bowels.

Come girl and sing! Lilt a dittle lilt a dee!
The mute girl speaks! Lilt a dittle lilt a dee!

Hosanna! Halleluyah! Raise the evensong!
Hosanna! Halleluyah! Raise the evensong!
Hosanna! Halleluyah! Raise the evensong!
Come sing through the dark to the day!

Behind the hill there rolled a sea!
Hosanna! Halleluyah! Raise the evensong!
The sea of gulls! The sea of seas!
Hosanna! Hallelujah! Raise the evensong!
