lyrics

Down Into The Earth
SQUIRE From man’s sight hide me—whither may I go? I am wounden as a wretch in woe and cursed of God for our falsage. And it shall be with the people, so with the priest. The sow that was washed returning to the mire, like the dog returning to its own vomit. Woe to you, oh land, when your king is a child!
KNIGHT If goodness is this sexless, sterile, weak and vexless, ascension not intervention, ruled but not judged. Never a count or a score ‘til the final random draw.
KNIGHT & SQUIRE I’ll lead you down, down, down. I’ll lead you down, down, down.
KNIGHT If heaven harbours all this charm, the sparkless eyes, the limp wrist and arm. To embrace but not to grip, to beg but call it pray—meekly contesting at heaven’s gate.
KNIGHT & SQUIRE I’ll lead you down, down, down. I’ll lead you down, down, down.
KNIGHT, SQUIRE & THE HILL Let’s go down, down, down. Let’s go down, down, down.
