Ballad Of Casey Deiss

T'was a man of youthful features

T'was a boy of sorrowful eyes

Watching out by looking inward

Tall and stately and full of life



In his life, he spoke but rarely

In his mind he cried for light

Painting perceptions trying to capture

That which he saw in his questioning strife



Once in Lisbon, twice in London

Travelling around for all of his time

Looking for and finding a goddess

He took Diana to be his wife



Of the children, they'd begotten

Two had died without knowing life

And the third I know not whereof

But if she lives, she will yet be kind



Casey had a mark of simple value

He had a star between his eyes

In his hands he held an axe blade

The Greek symbol of thunder and fire



On a night when the heavens were crying

He went out and took his blade

Chopping wood to warm his heartside

The lightning came and my brother died



Bring him no wine from faraway vineyards

Tell him no tales of the canyon's might

But wish him peace and eternal wisdom

For he has died and he died by light


Mirror lyrics:

For he has died and he died by light

But wish him peace and eternal wisdom

Tell him no tales of the canyon's might

Bring him no wine from faraway vineyards



The lightning came and my brother died

Chopping wood to warm his heartside

He went out and took his blade

On a night when the heavens were crying



The Greek symbol of thunder and fire

In his hands he held an axe blade

He had a star between his eyes

Casey had a mark of simple value



But if she lives, she will yet be kind

And the third I know not whereof

Two had died without knowing life

Of the children, they'd begotten



He took Diana to be his wife

Looking for and finding a goddess

Travelling around for all of his time

Once in Lisbon, twice in London



That which he saw in his questioning strife

Painting perceptions trying to capture

In his mind he cried for light

In his life, he spoke but rarely



Tall and stately and full of life

Watching out by looking inward

T'was a boy of sorrowful eyes

T'was a man of youthful features
