lyrics

I’ve killed that beast,
Which stalks me
Hid high in the trees
Eyes with baneful glee

His maddening call
Sends power surging
In divine ecstasy
I rendered it to bone

This Bacchic dance–tender bloody hands

Triumphantly, I raise my
Bloody bounty;
A vict’ry to behold

“What strength” they’ll say
With awe, how I
Ripped its fur from flesh
Draped in rust and gold

This Bacchic dance–tender bloody hands
The trophy in my hands, is my own tears.
