lyrics

From "Agamemnon" by Aeschylus, translated by Anne Carson: KASSANDRA: [scream] [scream) [scream] [scream] what is this appearing a net of hell no the wife is the net married to murder here comes insatiable vengeance howling the sacrifice into place CHORUS: Who is this spirit of vengeance you call to? Your words make me falter. It races my heart the yellow fear as when death is near. KASSANDRA: [scream] [scream] look there look there keep the bull from the cow she nets him she gores him with her deadly black horn he falls he's down he bathes in death are you listening to me CHORUS: Prophecy usually goes right over my head. Still it sounds grim what she said. Oh what good do prophets ever bring? They tinge with terror the simplest thing
