Momus Peter Grimes Lyrics

Great Bear in the trees
And the Pleiades
Turning like a funfair ride
O my missing twin
Where do I begin
To tell you how I turn inside

Two of us were born
Then there came a horn
Then there came a storm
Somebody was lost at sea
In the pandemonium
Of the non existent sun
Now I cannot tell
In the rising swell
If the brother lost was me

Hullo Peter Grimes
Hunted for your crimes
To your agonistic lair
They say you killеd a boy
Why would you destroy
Anyone so young and fair?

Why would you enjoy
Simply to dеstroy
Your apprentice boy
When God is in the sky
In the pandemonium
Of the non-existent sun
Great Bear in the trees
And the Pleiades
Turning with your destiny
A second murder now Anchor from the prow
How the hell hounds growl for you
The boys they said you killed
Both are living still
The only one who's lost is you

I will make a pyre
Of money and retire
Money and desire
For Ellen, your abandoned bride
In the pandemonium
Of the non-existent sun
And on the day I die
You will die as well
For you are living here inside

Glitter on the waves
Poison in the glade
Hanging from a rope of trees
Now I cannot tell
On the rising swell
If the fisherman was me

Pandemonium
A non-existent sun
Now I cannot tell
In the rising swell
In the pandemonium
Of the non-existent sun
O my missing twin
How do I begin
To tell you how I feel inside
