(Zeus) “Oh dear, I cannot resist you”.
(solos : B.P., L.B.)
(Semele) “Your eyes they burn.”

This birth… Among ruins and flames.
In smoke… From the dead lover of Zeus.
The child… Torn from the burning womb.
A new mold… Inside the thigh of Zeus.
A weird gestation, from mother to father.
A strange sensation. The child who’s born from death.
Growing, and soon to become a god.
Yet his mortal mother, o she would seal his fate.
Born twice. From the thigh of Zeus.
Hermes, takes the child to the Nymphs.
Diogonos. Half god, half man.
Dionysus. He who brings joy and fear.

By the Styx. And birthed a terrifying son.
