And When He Falleth

[Female Voice:]"Be my kin free fro carnal sin,Bridle the thoughts of thy Master."

[Male Voice:]"There hath past away a glore fro the Earth;A glore that in the hearts and minds of men,Men demented - blindfolded by light,Hourisheth as weed in their well-groom'd garihs."

[Male Voice:]"Might I too was blindfolded ere,Tho' years have master'd meA masque of this to fashion:Seer blest, thou best philosopher!"[Female Voice:]"The quality of mercy and absolution,Whence cometh such qualities?Build thyself a mirror in whichSolely wanton images of thy desire appear!"

[Male Voice:]"Tis the Divine Comedy -The fool and the mocking court:Fool, kneel now, and ring thy bells!:We hold the Earth to heaven away."[Female Voice:]"Tis is Divine Tragedy -The fool and the mocking court:Fool, kneel now, and ring thy bells!:Make us guffaw at thy futile follies,Yet for our blunders - Oh, in shame;Earth beareth no balm for mistakes -We hold the Earth to Hell away."

***[Dialogue:]***

[Male Voice:]That cross you wear around your neck;is it only a decoration, or are you atrue Christian believer?

[Female Voice:]Yes, I believe - truly.

[Male Voice:]Then I want you to remove it at once!- and never to wear it within this castleagain! Do you know how a falcon is trained mydear? Her eyes are sewn shut. Blinded temporarilyshe suffers the whims of her God patiently, untilher will is submerged and she learns to serve -as your God taught and blinded you withcrosses.

[Female Voice:]You had me take off my cross because itoffended....

[Male Voice:]It offended no-one. No - it simply appearsto me to be discourteous to... to wearthe symbol of a deity long dead.My ancestors tried to find it. And to openthe door that seperates us from our Creator.

[Female Voice:]But you need no doors to find God.If you believe....

[Male Voice:]Believe?! If you believe you are...gullible.Can you look around this world and believein the goodness of a god who rules it?Famine, Pestilence, War, Disease and Death!They rule this world.

[Female Voice:]There is also love and life and hope.

Very little hope I assure you. No. If a godof love and life ever did exist...he is longsince dead. Someone...something rules in hisplace.

***[End of Dialig]***

[sung:]

[Male Voice:]"Believe? In a deity long dead? -I would rather be a pagan suckléd in creeds outworn;Whith faärytales fill'd up in head;Thoughts of the Book stillborn."

[Female Voice:]"Shadow of annoyance -Ne'er come hither!...And when He falleth, He falleth like Lucifer,Ne'er to ascend again..."
