Deus Ex Machina
On the path of peril
The blind king staggers away
All he can see is darkness
Like a shroud
Groping through mist and cloud
The devil his only friend
Doomed is he
To find release only at his end
Cursed is he
Who incurs the wrath of envious gods
Woe is he
He who walks alone on the road to ruin
Woe is he
Whose fate is abandoned to the wind
Woe is he
The end too dread to tell, too dark to see
Trial is the test of man
Hubris will be his fall
Fate is the curse of man
In god's envy, tragedy befalls
Hamartia is the flaw of man
Hubris be his downfall
Trial is the test of man
But death befalls us all
Oh cursed Oedipus
Pursued by the hounds of fate
For slaying and laying with kindred
You took out both your eyes
All your sins laid bare
Your shame you alone will wear
So you go away without a guide
A vagrant with no sight
Oh cursed Oedipus
Hallowed be thy pain
A blind man wandering across the land
Never to be seen again
Oh cursed Oedipus
Hallowed be thy shame
Architect of his own tragedy
So vanished he
Into a shoreless sea
Trial is the test of man
Hubris be his fall
Fate is the curse of man
In god's envy
Tragedy befalls
Hamartia is the flaw of man
Hubris be his downfall
Trial is the test of man
And death will end it all
The blind king staggers away
All he can see is darkness
Like a shroud
Groping through mist and cloud
The devil his only friend
Doomed is he
To find release only at his end
Cursed is he
Who incurs the wrath of envious gods
Woe is he
He who walks alone on the road to ruin
Woe is he
Whose fate is abandoned to the wind
Woe is he
The end too dread to tell, too dark to see
Trial is the test of man
Hubris will be his fall
Fate is the curse of man
In god's envy, tragedy befalls
Hamartia is the flaw of man
Hubris be his downfall
Trial is the test of man
But death befalls us all
Oh cursed Oedipus
Pursued by the hounds of fate
For slaying and laying with kindred
You took out both your eyes
All your sins laid bare
Your shame you alone will wear
So you go away without a guide
A vagrant with no sight
Oh cursed Oedipus
Hallowed be thy pain
A blind man wandering across the land
Never to be seen again
Oh cursed Oedipus
Hallowed be thy shame
Architect of his own tragedy
So vanished he
Into a shoreless sea
Trial is the test of man
Hubris be his fall
Fate is the curse of man
In god's envy
Tragedy befalls
Hamartia is the flaw of man
Hubris be his downfall
Trial is the test of man
And death will end it all
