Ghost
Act l
“ The sparrows came
for in their thousands they called ,
In flocks weaving and falling in thick blackened skies
did they fall
they followed me everywhere.”
Woman
“ If I had not been so bold
If I had shed tears and wept at you’re feet ,
If in sorrow I looked into you’re eyes with a heavy heart ,
Spat out what I Could not eat,
It’s seeds formed good out of evil could we not start again ?
If If If we were still friends ?
Now the rains fall on me and darkness decends now
In arragance i seek you for in love I am blind ,
in carnal thoughts love is not kind .
My lover has fled and now eats the beasts of the field ,
and I am alone in my sorrow ,
with nothing I yeald ,
the sparrows are coming in their thousands array ,
and it’s them I look for at the eve of the day .
From a rib was I formed and now cold and hunger do I live ,
the once blue skies above me are now teaming with rain .
Act ll
Snake
“ Rise up for garlic and herbs I shall give you from you’re sick bed arise ,
To become like God in the heavens on horses wings you will fly ,
Man will build temples for you to rest you’re feet on tiny wings
no more will you suffer like a god see these things .”
Woman
“I have had temples and statues built in my name
Man bowed down to me like ants ,
given me gold and presious stones and beasts from the field ,
their corpses are scattered in blood on my land .
Act lll
War has come war lords in their anger apose and here am I all
Shrivelled and old ,
the times I met in the garden with God
for the love and the joy and the peace have all gone ..
Actllll
Now in a hole in the ground do I lay
In a bed of fruit ,
all around me decay ,
beads around my skull my flesh withers and dies ,
how I lived am dammed to these lies
The sparrows are coming to peck at my corpse
In their thousands from the mountains and trees do they call .
For now did snake did I listen ,
and to God do I call .
