Dido and Francesca

Verse 1: Swept up in eternal gales, the lustful damned do wail As Minos judges their descent to fiery depths of hell No rest nor peace is found, just endless stormy sound As lovers' sighs are drowned by howling winds that never quell Chorus: Whirling, twirling, endlessly they fall Tossed and turning, heed love's siren call Buffeted by gusts that never cease Eternally denied sweet love's release Verse 2: Cleopatra and Paris, Tristan and Isolde too All trapped in Aeolus' prison, their passion leads them to This endless maelstrom, swirling, twisting, never ceasing As they're consumed by lust that offers no peace Chorus: Whirling, twirling, endlessly they fall Tossed and turning, heed love's siren call Buffeted by gusts that never cease Eternally denied sweet love's release Bridge: Around them specters swirl, phantoms of love's fire Consumed by passions uncontrolled, damned for their desire Swept up in the tempest, they weep and rave and moan Doomed to this torment, forever alone Verse 3: Dido and Francesca, their names echo through the gale As they're buffeted and battered, their anguished cries can't avail No pardon, no reprieve, no chance for their souls to rest Just ceaseless motion, endlessly possessed rave and moan Doomed to this torment, forever alone Verse 3: Dido and Francesca, their names echo through the gale As they're buffeted and battered, their anguished cries can't avail No pardon, no reprieve, no chance for their souls to rest Just ceaseless motion, endlessly possessed [end]
