At the Gates of Diana

Sweet gaze
I rejoice in her majesty
Oh, pillar of stone
Oh, shimmer of light
I am in awe of thee
Save me your
Splendor and love
And rich with honesty
Integrity and all the above
Oh, grant
My sanctuary
It will always be a hum-drum
If you abandon me poor
I shall only pray to one god
Whatever fancies thee
The priest and the priestess
Are selling their mead
Bordello has pilgrims dancing with me
Oracles look in the
Farthest of stone
The house of the soul
«Dear boy
I don’t mean to interrogate
Confide now, you must
Tell me the truth
What brought you to Artemis?»
«I've faltered and fled
From my grave
A multitude of enemies
And and slaves
Oh, grant
My sanctuary
I won’t tell him no
It will always be a hum-drum
If you abandon me poor
I shall only pray to one god
Whatever fancies thee
The priest and the priestess
Are selling their mead
Bordello has pilgrims dancing with me
Oracles look in the
Farthest of stone
The house of the soul
You may seek
Your refuge here
But one last thing
Before you go
My name: Herostratus
