Funeral Sequence Lyrics

[00:04.56] Gather round, handmaidens of sorrow.
[00:07.01] Sound the flute
[00:11.89] Blow the horn
[00:14.93] Pluck the lute
[00:17.52] Forward, mourn!
[00:21.37] Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
[00:29.42] Ah, ah
[00:41.33] All Crete was at her feet
[00:43.44] All Thrace was in her thrall
[00:45.73] All Sparta loved her sweetness and gall
[00:51.19] And Spain
[00:52.99] And Greece
[00:54.39] And Egypt
[00:56.16] And Syria
[00:57.36] And Mesopotamia
[00:59.03] Oh, why should such a blossom fall?
[01:05.74] Speak the spells
[01:09.04] Strum the lyre
[01:12.82] Toll the bells
[01:16.17] Fill the pyre
[01:19.97]
[01:22.28] I don't know about you, but I've suffered enough.
[01:25.40] On behalf of the body, I'd like to thank you for a lovely funeral.
[01:31.74] Ah, ah
[01:39.20] All Crete was at her feet
[01:41.57] But I shall weep no more
[01:45.46] I'll find my consolation as before
[01:51.97] Among the simple pleasures of war
[01:54.76]
