Kathy Mar - Polyphemus Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • I sit in a darkness more deep than my cave
  • And curse the bold hero who gave me my grave
  • For no one will fear when they see this blind fool
  • To leave me alive was a torment most cruel
  • Chorus: I once was a Giant, but now I'm a craven
  • My dirge is the song of white sheep and black raven
  • I curse the brave man who would not stand and fight
  • But who gave me to death when he put out my sight
  • He sharpened my stick while I slept unafraid
  • Then burned it red-hot in the fire I had made
  • He stabbed it down into my eyelid so deep
  • He robbed me of sight as he robbed me of sleep
  • My sheep when to pasture and never returned
  • The coals are so cold where my bonfire once burned
  • I hear the birds call as the night gathers near
  • And folds me in silence as deep as my fear
  • I sit in the cold and the night of the blind
  • And curse that foul captain and all man-unkind
  • I pray he will wander as I never can
  • And wish for the sight of his own kin and clan
  • The sheep on the hillsides call lost in the night
  • They cannot be gathered by one without sight
  • The ravens are waiting on branches nearby
  • To pluck at my bones when I lay down and die
  • Words and music: Kathy Mar
