wonder working power

Saturday, Shabbat, Sabbath, Saturnalia
Dionysian destruction Maenad genitalia
Expose our sweet, honey-drunken love
Dance us off our feet, then sacrifice the dove

A night of madness for daytime sadness
Floral flourish for the beast
Then to the pyre to Lydian lyre
For on his flesh we feast

Sons of violence, daughters of shame
That 'stately pleasure dome decree'
All submit to animal ends
In blood we find our glee
