Lastly, the Muse from heaven speaks-
Rousing words, all on their feet
But none shall hear (she will not say)
The truth stays silent here, today
Her tongue but twists upon the words
They lie, they lie! They lay
Sombre in timid repose
Hiding is the gore in her veins,
Withered wicked flames.
Not a single voice to them clings
And so they hear only the lies they need
The truth buried again on silver wings.
A muse, an angel, tarnished so!
She cries the lies far and wide
To heathens she calls, she rallies them all!
And they hear her, they dream her, they eat her insides
The poison words flow with honey and lye
She dies softly and slowly with calm in her eyes
Through lungs aflame, the truth on her tongue,
Silent she lies and silent she dies.
Doth perish the muse.
