The Song of Eeeooo Eeeooo E
The Song of Eeeooo Eeeooo E
(A lone woman sings)
With your last breath
Of the fading midnight hour
Will you hear with all your powers of the auditory
The musical call of my mystical senryu
Eeeooo Eeeooo E
Eeeooo Eeeooo Eeeooo E
Eeeooo Eeeooo E
From my Bacchic Celebration Towers
Will you join my unashamed company
In the swirling dervish mists
Who go past each midnight
From another realm
Singing and chanting
Eeeooo Eeeooo E
Eeeooo Eeeooo Eeeooo E
Eeeooo Eeeooo
To join a new world
Of never-ending pleasures
That will forever last
Where sensuous music with wild voices
Will put your soul
At risk
With its seductive noises
And make it your Fate
To enter and close its rusty old gates
Forever
Would you join
As they passed
No longer to lament
But to be courageous
To welcome me
To pitch my tent
In your soul
With powers of enchantment and pleasure
That will seem
Heaven sent
A contradiction
Of above and below
For I know
When all lascivious dreams must go
So shed your hubris and pomposity
As you
To me
Are led
Chanting my musical
senryu of
Eeeooo Eeeooo E
Eeeooo Eeeooo Eeeooo E
Eeeooo Eeeooo
We pray to
The Golden Goddess of Exiles
Eeeooo Eeeooo E
Eeeooo Eeeooo Eeeooo E
Eeeooo Eeeooo E
To go to a place
Where purple butterflies live forever
And people never
Die
Eeeooo Eeeooo E
Eeeooo Eeeooo Eeeooo E
Eeeooo Eeeooo
