lyrics

In Gamelion, I arrived
-before the start of Apollo’s yearly reign
Only moments outside of Delphi,
I became aware to hear the maenads sing
I saw and smelt the blood of Python slain
Trickling out of the Gaian Cave

I was once told there were those
Who were sufficed with appearances
Symbols have become a substitute
For the forms that they represent

There are appearances and forms
There are limits to our knowledge
Question nothing or Question everything
What is a justified true belief?

On the hills of Parnassus
A vision came to be
The lovers of wisdom under attack
Death the seekers would drink
The task that must be dealt:
To learn future wisdoms fate.

I realized Gaia had too left this place
-On to the next level of understanding…

I was once told there were those
Who could not leave the cave
I followed the maenads to the mountains
And I knew myself through the vine

Enter Dionysos
On the hills of Parnassus
Know thyself—know thy place!
Surety brings ruin!
Nothing in excess!
