Formed of Clay, Fire, Soot and Bone

[derby378]

Because I felt like sharing some cool music on a Friday night...

I formed her of clay and fire, soot and bone
I gave her such a lush and steep and simple island home
"Keep to yourself
Be wary of gifts"
Did she?
Did she?
Did she?
Did she?
Did she listen?
Oh, no
Oh, no
Oh, no
Oh, no

She sat in her first home, her castle of heat
For years and years and years and years and years and years and years
Her box was ever beside her
Her hand never strayed too far
And on the day she could no longer wait
The sea, the Aegean, turned into a wave
The fleet of the Cretans was broken
The fleet of the Cretans was broken

Her stepfather's lasting creation
Born of his thigh, to his wife's consternation
Unleashed a war on the mainland
My little firecracker caused the death of 10,000 Cretans

Shattered and shaken and wet to the bone
She asked for such a lush and steep and simple island home
"Keep to yourself
Be wary of gifts"
Did she?
Did she?
Did she?
Did she?
Did she?
Did she listen?
Oh, no
Oh, no
Oh, no

She stayed in her new home, "La Isla Bonita"
She watched in discomfort as Cretans took over
One day she could no longer wait
The sea, the Atlantic, grew into an iminami

And the walls
And the walls
And the walls of the Cretans were broken
