Chorous
[Intro]
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh

[Verse 1: as Chorus]
It's been a long time coming, long time astray
She dug a hole in the earth in this foreign land
But her fingers leave no imprints in desert ground
Her song make no sound

[Chorus: as Medea]
Chorus! Oh, my chorus!
Sing it for me

[Verse 2: as Chorus]
She will return a thousand years old
From hourglass living
And when she kisses him, she fills his mouth with sand
A cast around the inside

[Chorus: as Medea]
Angel, all the angels!
Heal him, make him

[Segue]
Home
Home
Home
[Verse 3: as Chorus]
They say that Aphrodite dips her cup
In the clear stream of the lovely Cephisus
It is she who breathes over the land the breath
Of gentle honey-laden winds

[Verse 4: as Chorus]
Where will you find the hardness of purpose?
How will you build resolution in hand or heart
To face horror without flinching?
When the moment comes
And you look at them

[Verse 5: as Chorus]
The moment for you to assume the role of murderess
How will you do it?
When your sons kneel to you for pity
Will you stain your fingers with their blood?
Your heart will melt, you will know
You cannot

[Outro: as Messenger]
The bride will receive the golden coronet
Receive her merciless destroyer
With her own hands, she will carefully fit
The adornment of death around her golden hair
